Queen Fabiola Mountains is a group of mountains in Antarctica, 50 kilometres (30 miles) long, consisting mainly of seven small massifs which trend north–south, forming a partial barrier to the flow of inland ice. The mountains stand in isolation about 140 km (90 mi) southwest of the head of Lutzow-Holm Bay. The mountains were discovered and photographed from aircraft by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Guido Derom on 8 October 1960. With permission from King Baudouin of Belgium, the mountains were named after his newly wedded wife Fabiola. In November–December 1960, the mountains were visited by a party of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–1962, which made geomorphological and geological surveys. They applied the name Yamato Mountains.[1] The highest massif is Mount Fukushima (2,470 m).

The Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) found the Yamato 000593 Martian meteorite in 2000 on the Yamato Glacier, at the Queen Fabiola Mountains.[2] With a mass of 13.7 kg (30.2 lb), Yamato 000593 is the second largest meteorite from Mars found on Earth.[2][3][4]

Das Königin-Fabiola-Gebirge (französisch Monts Reine Fabiola, englisch Queen Fabiola Mountains, norwegisch Dronning Fabiolafjella) ist ein 50 km langes Gebirge im ostantarktischen Königin-Maud-Land. Es besteht im Wesentlichen aus sieben kleinen Massiven mit nord-südlicher Ausrichtung, die eine partielle Barriere für den Fluss des Inlandeises darstellen. Das Gebirge liegt isoliert in einer Entfernung von 150 km südwestlich der Lützow-Holm-Bucht.- [en] Queen Fabiola Mountains

Le montagne della Regina Fabiola sono un catena montuosa dell'Antartide. Situata nella Terra della Regina Maud e in particolare in corrispondenza della costa del Principe Harald, la catena è costituita principalmente da sette piccoli massicci disposti in direzione nord-sud per una lunghezza totale di circa 45 km e situati a circa 160 km a sud-ovest dalla costa della baia di Lutzow-Holm. La vetta più alta della catena è il monte Fukushima, che arriva a 2.470 m s.l.m.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
