[2] Most of the rocks are similar to those at Mawson Station, but the northern tip is made of metamorphosed sediments.

There are plentiful lichens in the range, including very large Omphalodiscus antarcticus specimens growing in crevices in rocks upwards from near the surface of the melt lakes.

[3] The Masson Range was discovered and named by British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE), 1929–31, under Mawson.

This northern range was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Nordkammen (the north comb or crest).
