Boyle Mountains

The Boyle Mountains stretch along the Arrowsmith Peninsula of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory., rising to about 6,890 feet above sea level.

This range includes:

• Bartholin Peak and
• Quervain Peak

The mountains stand between Lallemand Fjord and Bourgeois Fjord on the Loubet Coast. They were photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956-57, and are named in association with the names of glaciologists grouped in this area – after The Hon. Robert Boyle (1627-91), natural philosopher and an Original Founder Member of the Royal Society; author of New experiments and observations touching cold... (1665) and Essay on gems (1672), containing one of the earliest known descriptions of ice crystals.
