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 '''[[Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station]]''' is a United States scientific research station at the [[South Pole]], the southernmost place on the Earth. The station is located on the high plateau of [[Antarctica]] at an elevation of 2,835 meters (9,301 feet) above sea level and is administered by the Division of Polar Programs within the National Science Foundation under the United States Antarctic Program (USAP).


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]].
