Daniels Range

Bedrock is exposed extensively along both the west and the east of the range where ridges jut out from the ice-covered crest of the mountains.

[2] The basement rocks of the Daniels Range consists of the Rennick Schist, Wilson Gneisses[a] and Granite Harbor Intrusives.

Named by US-AC AN for David B Milles, USARP biological laboratory technician at McMurdo Station, 1967-68.

A very striking nunatak which rises above the ice near the center of the upper portion of Harlin Glacier, in the Usarp Mountains.

A prominent bluff (1,945 m) surmounting the narrow, northern neck of the Daniels Range, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Mount Nero, in the Usarp Mountains.

The feature appeared dark and sombre; hence, the party gave the name from Milton's "II Penseroso" in antithesis to Allegro Valley 14 miles to the south.

A rugged rock spur jutting northward from the west flank of Daniels Range immediately north of Mount Nero, in the Usarp Mountains.

A rock crag 1 mi NE of Forsythe Bluff, rising to c. 2,590 m on the west side of Daniels Range, Usarp Mountains.

Named by US-ACAN in 1986 after Peter Misch, Professor Emeritus of Geology, University of Washington, who has contributed to the training of numerous geologists who have worked in the Antarctic.

A bluff rising to more than 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) along the west edge of Daniels Range, in the Usarp Mountains.

A nunatak (2,435 m) lying 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Forsythe Bluff, on the W side of Daniels Range in the Usarp Mountains.

A steep-sided, glacier-filled valley indenting the east side of Daniels Range just north of White Spur, in the Usarp Mountains.

The northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963–64, experienced fine weather here after several days of unpleasant travel; therefore, members named it after John Milton's poem "L'Allegro" in antithesis with Penseroso Bluff, 14 mi to the north.

A spur forming part of the south wall of Allegro Valley as it juts eastward from the central portion of the Daniels Range, Usarp Mountains.

A high, angular granite bluff (2,840 m) along the west wall of Daniels Range, 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Mount Burnham, in the Usarp Mountains.

So named by the northern party of NZGSAE, 1963-64, because it is visible from 50 miles (80 km) north and from many points across Rennick Glacier.

A peak midway between Big Brother Bluff and Mount Burnham along the W wall of Daniels Range, in the Usarp Mountains.

Named by US-AC AN for James B. Burnham, ionospheric physicist who wintered at South Pole Station in 1958 and 1961.

A prominent, largely ice-free nunatak, 2,350 metres (7,710 ft) high, located 4 miles (6.4 km) southeast of Mount Burnham in the south part of Daniels Range, Usarp Mountains.

A steep rock outcrop in the form of a bluff 100 metres (330 ft) high, extending in a northeast–southwest direction for 1 mile (1.6 km) in the southeast portion of Thompson Spur, Daniels Range.

Descriptively named from the prevalent intrusive rock on the bluff which has the appearance in color and texture of a fruitcake.
