'The Wilkniss Mountains form a prominent group of conical peaks and mountains, 10 nautical miles (19 km) long running north–south, located 9 nautical miles east-southeast of Mount Feather in the Quartermain Mountains, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The mountains are 3 nautical miles wide in the north portion where Mount Blackwelder, 2,340 metres (7,680 ft) high, and Pivot Peak 2,450 metres (8,040 ft) high, rise above ice-free valleys. Except for an outlying southwest peak, the south portion narrows to a series of mainly ice-covered smaller peaks.
