Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Coordinates".Hansen Mountains (Template:Langx) is a large group of nunataks rising to about Template:Cvt above the Antarctic plateau.[1] The mountains are approximately Template:Cvt south of Stefansson Bay and they extend Template:Cvt from northwest to southeast in Kemp Land, East Antarctica. The Hansen Mountains were first mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the 1936–1937 Lars Christensen Expedition. They were named for H.E. Hansen, the Norwegian cartographer who compiled the maps for this and other Norwegian Antarctic expeditions.[2]

Standing at Template:Cvt, their highest peak is Mount Gjeita, known in Australian sources as Mount Banfield.[3] Their northernmost peak is called Fram Peak, named "Framfjellet" (the forward peak) by the personnel of the Lars Christensen Expedition.[4]
