A series of rugged elevations at the heads of Ramsey and Kosco Glaciers, extending from Mount Weir in the west to Anderson Heights overlooking Shackleton Glacier in the east. Photographed at a distance by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (ByrdAE) on several flights to the Queen Maud Mountains in November 1929. The mountains were further defined from aerial photographs taken by the U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS) (1939-41), U.S. Navy (USN) OpHjp (1946-47), and U.S. Navy (USN) Operation Deep Freeze (OpDFrz) (1956-63). Named by US-SCAN, on the recommendation of R. Admiral Byrd, after James I. Bush, American financier and patron of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (ByrdAE), 1928-30.
