geo.wikisort.org - MontagneI Gadsden Peaks (in lingua inglese: Picchi Gadsden) sono una fila di picchi antartici disposti in direzione nordest su una dorsale montuosa lunga 11 km. Si innalzano fino a 2.500 m e sono situati 9 km a ovest-sudovest del Lange Peak nel Lyttelton Range dei Monti dell'Ammiragliato, in Antartide.
I picchi sono stati mappati dall' United States Geological Survey (USGS) sulla base di rilevazioni e foto aeree scattate dalla U.S. Navy nel periodo 1960-63.
La denominazione è stata assegnata dall' Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in onore di [Michael Gadsden, ricercatore radio presso la Stazione McMurdo nel 1965-66 e nel 1967-68.[1]

They rise to over 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) and stand 5 nautical miles west-southwest of Lange Peak of the Lyttelton Range, in the Admiralty Mountains of Victoria Land. Antarctica. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1960–63, and were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Michael Gadsden, a radioscience researcher at McMurdo Station, Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island, 1965–66 and 1967–68.[1] These peaks lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
