The Nereidum Montes is a mountain range on Mars. It stretches 1,143 km, northeast of Argyre Planitia. It is in the Argyre quadrangle. The mountains are named after a Classical albedo feature. Nereidum Montes has gullies in some areas.
A hummocky relief resembling Veiki moraines has been found in Nereidum Montes. The relief is hypothesized to result, very much like Veiki moraines, from the melting of a Martian glacier.[1]
