The hierarchy of geographic names within the Transantarctic Mountains is enormous. As this article and articles on locations within the TAM are expanded, we should keep this hierarchy in mind and make it as clear as possible in the text and wiki links. As I understand, the TAM are divided into (6-12) major mountain groups, with names like the Queen Maud Mountains. This "section" of the TAM is then further subdivided into "ranges" (Commonwealth Range for example). These ranges would then be divided into individual peaks. Glaciers separate almost all of these subgroups and should be included in articles if their names are known. As one can imagine by looking at the Rocky Mountains, a mountain range of this scale is going to encompass hundreds if not thousands of articles about locations within it. I've tried to improve the organization of this article, but I'm sure there's more work to be done. -- BlueCanoe 17:08, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mount Vinson in the Sentinel Range is not located in the Transantarctic Mountains, thus should not be reffered as the рighest peak of this range. --Monfornot (talk) 20:45, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The first to cross the Transantarctic Mountains was not Ernest Shackleton in 1908, but a party under the command of Lt. Albert Armitage that was soon followed by another party under Cpt. Robert Scott, both during the 1902-1904 British National Antarctic Expedition (aka Discovery-Expedition). -- Dr Jostmann/ feb 8, 2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.113.9.55 (talk) 16:15, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
