366:. The Masson Range is divided into three parts of which this segment is the southern, rising to 1,070 metres (3,510 ft) and extending two miles in a northeast-southwest arc. The Masson Range was discovered and named by BANZARE, 1929-31, under Mawson. This southern range was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37, and named Sörkammen (the south comb or crest). The approved name, suggested by ANCA in 1960, more clearly identifies the feature as a part of Masson Range. Not: Gora Serkammen, Sörkammen, Sørkammen Crest, South Crest.
278:. The Masson Range is divided into three parts of which this segment is the northern, rising to 1,030 metres (3,380 ft) and extending three miles in a north-south direction. The Masson Range was discovered and named by 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). The approved name, suggested by ANCA in 1960, more clearly identifies the feature as a part of Masson Range. Not: Gora Nurkammen, Nordkammen, Nordkammen Crest, North Crest.
322:. The Masson Range is divided into three parts of which this segment is the central, rising to 1,120 metres (3,670 ft) and extending four miles in a north-south direction. The Masson Range was discovered and named by BANZARE, 1929-31, under Mawson. This central range was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37, and named Mekammen (the middle comb or crest). The approved name, suggested by ANCA in 1960, more clearly identifies the feature as a part of Masson Range. Not: Mekammen, Mekammen Crest, Middle Crest.

Alberts (1995) states that the range extends for about 15 miles (24 km) in a north–south direction. Filson (1966) states that the range extends for about 32 kilometres (20 mi) in a south-southwest direction.
