Discovery and naming
The Conrad Mountains were discovered by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939), led by Captain Alfred Ritscher, and named for Rear Admiral Heinrich Friedrich (Fritz) Conrad (18 April 1883 – 1 January 1944), director of the meteorological division of the former Marineleitung (German Admiralty). They were surveyed by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956-1960.[1]

[de] Conradgebirge
Das Conradgebirge in Dronning Maud Land ragt über eine Länge von 36 Kilometern aus dem Inlandeis der Antarktis heraus. Es erstreckt sich in nord-südlicher Richtung gut 200 km südlich der Prinzessin-Astrid-Küste. Es ist durchschnittlich fünf und maximal knapp zehn Kilometer breit. Im Januar 1939 wurde das Gebirge bei Flügen der Deutschen Antarktischen Expedition 1938/39 entdeckt und mit Luftaufnahmen dokumentiert.[1] Benannt wurde das Gebirge nach Fritz Conrad, dem Leiter der Nautisch-Wissenschaftlichen Abteilung der Marineleitung und Chef des Marinewetterdienstes im Zweiten Weltkrieg.
