Ford Massif (85°5′S 91°0′W / 85.083°S 91.000°W / -85.083; -91.000) is a broad, snow-topped massif 15 nautical miles (28 km; 17 mi) long and 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) wide, forming the major topographic landmark of the northern Thiel Mountains in Antarctica. The massif rises to 2,810 metres (9,220 ft), is essentially flat, and terminates in steep rock cliffs in all but the southern side.[1]
