На континенте Антарктиды ареал Арамис является третьим хребтом на юг в гор Чарльз , расположенной в 11 милях к юго -востоку от хребта Портоса и простирается около 30 миль в направлении юго -запада и северо -востока. Впервые он был посещен в январе 1957 года Южной партией австралийских национальных экспедиций Антарктических исследований ( ANARE ) во главе с WG Bewsher, который назвал его персонажем в Александра Дюма « романе Три мушкетера» , самой популярной книге, читаемой в южном путешествии.

Америки пики

The Amery Peaks (70 ° 36 'с 67 ° 25′E ) представляют собой группу пиков, которые простираются примерно на 18 морских миль (33 км) вдоль юго -восточной стороны ледника Немезиды. Они были обнаружены Южной партией Анаре в 1956–57 годах и названы так из -за их близости к ледяному шельфе Амери .
