The Solvay Mountains are a mountain range that rises to 1590 m (Cook Summit) and extends in an ENE–WSW direction in the south part of Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. They were discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897–99, under Adrien de Gerlache, and named by him for Ernest-John Solvay (1895-1972), the recently-born grandson of Ernest Solvay, who sponsored the expedition.[1] The name originally extended along the entire east coast of the island but has been limited to the prominent mountains in the south, while the principal group of mountains farther north was subsequently named Stribog Mountains, separated from Solvay Mountains by Aluzore Gap.

[it] Montagne di Solvay

Le montagne di Solvay sono una catena montuosa situata sull'isola Brabant, una delle isole dell'arcipelago Palmer, al largo della costa nord-occidentale della Terra di Graham, in Antartide. La catena è orientata in direzione est-nordest/ovest-sudovest, raggiungendo una lunghezza di 25 km e una larghezza di 10 ed estendendosi da punta Humann, a ovest, a punta d'Ursel, a est. Dai versanti delle montagne di Solvay, il cui punto più alto è costituito dalla vetta del monte Cook, che arriva a 1590 m s.l.m., e che sono separate alle montagne di Stribog, a nord, dal passo Aluzore, discendono diversi ghiacciai, come il Rush, il Jenner e il Koch.[1]
