The Loewe massif is a large massif in the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It looms in the eastern part of the Aramis Range in the Prince Charles Mountains . The winding summit plateau rises 600 m over the ice masses on the north flank. Mount Loewe and the Medvecky Peaks are part of the massif.
A team led by the Australian mountaineer William Gordon Bewsher (1924–2012) discovered the massif in 1956 as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions . Its name is derived from Mount Loewe. Its namesake is the German polar explorer Fritz Loewe (1895–1974).
