The Blackwall Mountains are a mountain range of up to 1,370 m high mountains on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . They extend in a west-northwest-east-southeast direction over a length of 8 km south of the Neny Fjord . They are east of Remus Glacier and south of Romulus Glacier limited and by the Safety Col westward from the ridge Red Rock Ridge separately.
The first rough mapping was carried out in 1936 by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . They are named after the appearance of a black wall on those peaks that face Rymill Bay all year round without snow .
