Gustav Bull Mountains edit

'''Gustav Bull Mountains''' ({{coor dm|67|51|S|66|9|E|}}) is a small group of bare, rugged [[mountain]] peaks and [[nunatak]]s, lying 4 nautical miles (7 km) inland from the coast and 10 nautical miles (18 km) southwest of [[Scullin Monolith]] in Mac. [[Robertson Land]].

Bull]], at that time whaling manager of the Thorshammer. The [[British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition]] (BANZARE) (1929-31), under [[Douglas Mawson]], made an airplane flight over this area in January 1930, returning for further exploration in February 1931. They gave names to individual features in the group.
