Dorsey Mountains

The Dorsey Mountains rise to about 6,560 feet above sea level, running north to south on the north side of along the Arrowsmith Peninsula of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory, on the Loubet Coast.

This range includes:

• Mount Lagally and
• Vanni Peak

The mountains were photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition, 1956-57, and are named in association with the names of glaciologists grouped in this area – after Noah Ernest Dorsey (1873-1959), American physicist; author of Properties of Ordinary Water-substance (1940), a comprehensive study of ice.
