On the continent of Antarctica, the Aramis Range is the third range south in the Prince Charles Mountains, situated 11 miles southeast of the Porthos Range and extending for about 30 miles in a southwest–northeast direction. It was first visited in January 1957 by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) southern party led by W.G. Bewsher, who named it for a character in Alexandre Dumas' novel The Three Musketeers, the most popular book read on the southern journey.

Amery Peaks
The Amery Peaks () are a group of peaks which extend for about along the southeast side of Nemesis Glacier. They were discovered by the ANARE southern party of 1956–57 and so named because of their proximity to the Amery Ice Shelf.
Mount Loewe () is the most northerly of the Amery Peaks, rising to northeast of Mount Seaton. It was named for Fritz Loewe, a member of the ANARE reconnaissance party in the Wyatt Earp, 1947–48, and the Australian observer with the French Expedition on the Adélie Coast, 1951–52. It and the Medvecky Peaks arise from the Loewe Massif. Mount McKenzie () is a pyramidal peak, high, situated southeast of Saxton Ridge. It was named for John A. McKenzie, a cook at Mawson Station in 1956. Mount Seaton () is a prominent domed peak situated about 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of Sandilands Nunatak. It was named for Pilot Officer John Seaton, a RAAF pilot with the Antarctic Flight at Mawson Station in 1956. Ritchie Point () is a well defined point at the extremity of the large, flat rock feature extending northeastward from Amery Peaks. It was named for F.A. Ritchie, cook at Mawson Station in 1965.
