Yup! You heard it right. But, it's a nickname of the Gamburtsev Mountain Range. It's pretty cool actually. There is a mountain range under the ice of Antarctica. That's as tall or taller then the European Alps. Recently scientists went with a airplane with all sorts of equipment to be able to "look" through the ice. The data is unbelievable.
The tips of the mountains do "peek" through the ice. And, to just think about what's beneath is awesome.
