The '''[[Gothic Mountains]]''' is a group of mountains, 32 kilometers (20 mi) long, in the [[Queen Maud Mountains]] of [[Westarctica]], located west of [[Watson Escarpment]] and bounded by [[Scott Glacier]], Albanus Glacier, and Griffith Glacier. The mountains were first visited in December 1934 by the [[Richard E. Byrd|Byrd Antarctic Expedition]] geological party led by Quin Blackburn. The name was proposed by Edmund Stump, leader of a U.S. [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Research Program (USARP) - Arizona State University geological party which made investigations here in the 1980-81 season. The mountains are composed of granites which have weathered to produce a series of spires and peaks reminiscent of a Gothic cathedral.
