Supporters Range

Supporters Range

The Supporters Range (coord|85|04|S|169|30|E|) is a rugged range of mountains in Antarctica, 40 km long, bordering the eastern side of Mill Glacier, from Keltie Glacier in the north to Mill Stream Glacier in the south.

So named by the New Zealand GSAE (1961-62) because several peaks of the range are named after supporters of Ernest Shackleton's British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09).
