Belgica Mountains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Belgica Mountains () is an isolated chain of mountains about 10 miles long, standing 60 miles east-southeast of the Sor Rondane Mountains in Queen Maud Land. The chain was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1957-58) under Gaston de Gerlache, and named after the ship Belgica, commanded by his father, Lt. Adrien de Gerlache, leader of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897-99.
