Description (see definition): Mountain range 40 mi long with peaks rising to 2,000 m, extending in a NW-SE direction from Snick Pass to Uranus Glacier in central Alexander Island. First seen from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 1935, and the N and E portions mapped from photos obtained on that flight by W.L.G. Joerg. Resighted from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48, and named by Ronne for General Curtis LeMay, Deputy Chief of Air Staff for Research and Development of the then U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF), which furnished equipment for the expedition. Remapped in detail from Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) photos by Searle of the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960.
