A high and rugged range of the Queen Maud Mountains, extending from the polar plateau between Cooper and Bowman Glaciers and terminating near the edge of Ross Ice Shelf. Peaks in the range were first sighted by Capt. Roald Amundsen in 1911, and the range was mapped in detail by the ByrdAE, 1928-30. Named by US-ACAN for Donald A. Quarles, Sec. of the Air Force, 1955-57, and Deputy Sec. of Defense, 1957-59, at the outset of the International Geophysical Year and organization of U.S. activity in Antarctica.
