Discovery and naming

Südliche Petermann Range was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, led by Capt. Alfred Ritscher, which gave directional names to the eastern, middle and western units of the Petermann Ranges. This range was named Sore Petermannkjeda by Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, because of its southern position in association with other units in the Petermann Ranges. A German form of this name has been recommended by US-ACAN to agree with spellings adopted for the aforementioned ranges.
