Belgica Mountains is an isolated chain of mountains about 10 miles (16 km) long standing 60 miles (97 km) east-southeast of the Sor Rondane Mountains in Queen Maud Land in the Antarctic. The chain was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1957-1958) under Gaston de Gerlache and named after the ship Belgica commanded by his father Lt. Adrien de Gerlache leader of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897-99.
