The Sentinel Range is a major mountain range located in Western Antarctica, forming the northern half of the Ellsworth Mountains. Here are some key details:
-
Location: The range is situated north of the Minnesota Glacier and trends NNW-SSE for about 185 km (115 miles) and is 24 to 48 km (15 to 30 miles) wide.
-
Highest Peak: The highest point in the Sentinel Range is Mount Vinson, which stands at 4,892 meters (16,050 feet) and is the highest peak in Antarctica.
-
Geology: The range is primarily composed of folded, slightly metamorphosed sedimentary or volcanic rock dating from the Precambrian age to the Permian. The mountains were formed after the breakup of Gondwanaland about 180 million years ago.
-
Notable Features: The Sentinel Range includes several distinct heights, ridges, and mountains, such as Owen Ridge, Petvar Heights, Doyran Heights, Veregava Ridge, Flowers Hills, Sullivan Heights, Barnes Ridge, Maglenik Heights, Probuda Ridge, Bangey Heights, Sostra Heights, and Gromshin Heights.
-
Discovery and Naming: The range was first sighted and photographed from the air on November 23, 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth, who named it due to its prominent position as a landmark on the otherwise featureless ice surface.
The Sentinel Range is a stunning and rugged part of Antarctica, offering breathtaking views and challenging hikes for those who venture there.
