	Ellsworth Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ellsworth Mountains are the highest mountain ranges in Antarctica, forming a 360 km (200 mi) long and 48 km (30 mi) wide chain of mountains in a north to south configuration on the western margin of the Ronne Ice Shelf.
		The mountains were discovered on November 23, 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth in the course of a trans-Antarctic flight from Dundee Island to the Ross Ice Shelf.
		When it became evident that the mountains comprise two distinct ranges, the US-ACAN restricted the application of Sentinel Range to the high northern one and gave the name Heritage Range to the southern one; the Committee recommended the name of the discoverer for this entire group of mountains.

	Antarctica Geology
		The mountainous regions of Antarctica contain mineralized areas that were mostly formed by the intrusive activity during the Ellsworth and Andean Orogenies.
		The Paleozoic rocks of the Transantarctic Mountains have plant fossils of Permian age in the coal beds, the younger rocks of these mountains have fossils of Triassic reptiles and amphibians.
		The east is Precambian, the mountain range is early Paleozoic, and the west is late Mesozoic and early Cenozoic.

	Searching for an "Ellsworth"
		Ellsworth's death was used to rally people to the cause when he became one of the first Union officers to fall, killed in the act of taking down a conspicuous Confederate flag (1861).
		For instance, the Henry Mountains were named for one of the most famous scientists at that time, but he was also a patron of Powell's work, and four of the five individual peaks in that range were named not for generals or Presidents but for survey team members and associates.
		According to his official Congressional biography, C.C. Ellsworth's term ended on 3 March 1879, so it is possible that he participated in the act that created the U.S. Geological Survey that year (and also defunded the Powell survey, then in the field--see a USGS account).

	Ellsworth Land - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ellsworth Land (75°30′S 080°00′W) is that portion of the Antarctic continent bounded on the west by Marie Byrd Land, on the north by Bellingshausen Sea, on the northeast by the base of Antarctic Peninsula, and on the east by the western margin of Ronne Ice Shelf.
		It is largely a high ice plateau, but includes the majestic Ellsworth Mountains and a number of scattered mountain groups: Hudson, Jones, Behrendt, Merrick, Sweeney and Scaife Mountains.
		This land lies near the center of the area traversed by American explorer Lincoln Ellsworth on an airplane flight during November-December 1935.
