Description (see definition): Prominent mountain range, c. 2,800 m, extending 35 mi NW-SE from Mount Bayonne to Care Heights and Mount Cupola, in N Alexander Island. First mapped by the French Antarctic Expedition (FrAE), 1908-10, under J.B. Charcot and named by him after the French city of Rouen. Charcot indicated a break in these mountains S of Mount Paris, but air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48, as interpreted by Searle of the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) indicate that the mountains are continuous SE to Mount Cupola; partly surveyed by Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948; further delineated from U.S. satellite imagery of January 1974 and February 1975.
