Narrative

A mountain range lying between the Tucker and Whitehall Glaciers, the Polar Plateau and an unnamed major valley glacier flowing into the head of the Lady Newnes Ice Shelf. Like the Admiralty Range, the group probably includes two main ranges and several lesser ones. The name was adopted because of the proximity of the group to the Admiralty Range, and with the intention that many of the topographical features would be named for celebrated victories, especially naval victories. Named by the NZGSAE, 1957-58.
