Discovery and naming [ edit ]
The mountains were discovered and mapped by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939), led by Alfred Ritscher , who named them for Alexander von Humboldt , famed German naturalist and geographer of the first half of the nineteenth century.
Historic monument [ edit ]
A plaque was erected at India Point (71°45′08 ″S 11°12′30 ″E / 71.75222°S 11.20833°E / -71.75222; 11.20833 Historic Site or Monument (HSM 78), following a proposal by India to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting .[2]
