Hello. I will complete the review in a day or two. Thank you. — The Most Comfortable Chair 16:36, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

"and last erupted about 30,000-40,000 years ago" — This part should be covered in the prose.
It is The youngest dates have been obtained by argon-argon dating on Mount Frakes, and imply an eruption 35,000±10,000–32,000±10,000 years ago. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Geography and geomorphology

"It was first visited in 1959–1960, and on this occasion several accessible outcrops were sampled." — "on this occasion" feels repetitive in the same sentence. Perhaps this would be more concise → "It was first visited in 1959–1960, and several accessible outcrops were sampled."
Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"The name refers to Albert P. Crary, who was then Deputy Chief Scientist for the US-IGY Antarctic Program." — Did this program had anything to do with these mountains directly? If yes, please elaborate on that. If not, it would be worthwhile to explain what that program accomplished since it does not have a Wikipedia article of its own.
Not as far as I know. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Lava" (thrice), "West Antarctic Ice Sheet" (twice) and "cirques" (twice) should only be linked once.
Delinked excessive mentions. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest linking "subaerial formations" or just "subaerial" as that is not a very common term. "Subglacial eruptions" could be linked per the same.
Linked the latter. To be honest, I was wondering if someone could come up with a translation for "subaerial". Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"faulting" — needs a specific target.
Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"The mountains are associated with a strong magnetic anomaly." — Can it be elaborated more specifically what the anomaly does? Or rather suggested causes for it?
Expanded on this. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Geology

"The basement crops out along the coast and consists of granitoids and metamorphic sediments left by a Devonian-Cretaceous volcanic arc." — Since it is just a one line paragraph, it should generally be merged with the preceding paragraph.
Merged it with a paragraph farther up, as it was closer to the topic. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Phonolite", "trachyte" and "rhyolite" should only be linked once.
Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Geologic history

Unlink — "glaciation", "Miocene", "crust", and "West Antarctic Ice Sheet" which are linked previously.
"where a perhaps local ice cap or snow deposit existed at Mount Petras." — Perhaps the "perhaps" could be dropped? → "where a local ice cap or snow deposit existed at Mount Petras."
No, because the nature of the ice isn't yet known with certainty. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

References

Reference 5, 14, 17, and 8 — "Wilch" and "Chakraborty" should not be in all caps per MOS:ALLCAPS.
Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Use one consistent format for dates.
"Chakraborty" and the citation's "title" should not be in all caps per above.
Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

External links

Same per above.

That should be all for now. It is a good read and should pass. Thank you for writing this interesting article. — The Most Comfortable Chair 12:07, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
