Tyndall Mountains

Tyndall Mountains extend north to south on the Arrowsmith Peninsula, on the Loubet Coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory. They rise to about 7,550 feet at Gravier Peaks.

This range includes:

• Gravier Peaks
• Pryor Peak and
• Richardson Peak

They were photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition of 1956-57, and named in association with the names of glaciologists grouped in this area – after John Tyndall (1820-93), physicist, mountaineer and pioneer glaciologist, author of works on glaciers and the physical properties of ice.
