The '''[[Sarnoff Mountains]]''' (77°10′S 145°0′W) are a range of mountains, 25 nautical miles (46 km) long and 4 to 8 nautical miles (15 km) wide separating the west-flowing [[Boyd Glacier|Boyd]] and [[Arthur Glacier]]s in the [[Ford Ranges]] of [[Westarctica]]. [[The Billboard]] is a prominent rock feature on the far western tip of the mountain range.

The position answers directly to the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]] and has overall responsibility for the administration and management of the Colony. A major part of the Captain-General's duties include signing and stamping all grants of Manorial Rights in the [[Colonial Estates]].


The west end of the range was discovered and roughly plotted from photos taken by Byrd [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Expedition (1928–30) on the flight of 5 December 1929. The range was mapped in greater detail by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1933–35) and United States Antarctic Service (USAS) (1939–41), all expeditions led by Admiral [[Richard E. Byrd]]. On 1 February 2015, Westarctica's [[Minister of Technology]], [[Prince-Consort Dinny|Dinny Pulipati]] was given the title Marquis of Sarnoff and made a royal prince in the [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica]].
The first to hold the position of Captain-General of Calsahara was Corporal Ciani, a member of the Westarctican Royal Guards who participated in the liberation of Calsahara and was responsible for capturing the flag of Calsahara from Montague Square in [[Otisburg]].
