Dunedin Range

The Dunedin Range (71º24´S 167º54´E) is a northwest-trending mountain range, 37 km (23 mi) long and 3 to 6 km (2 to 4 mi) wide, located 8 km east of Lyttelton Range in the Admiralty Mountains of Antarctica. Mapped by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-63.

Named by US-ACAN for the city of Dunedin, New Zealand which over the years has had a close association with Antarctic expeditions; also in recognition of the friendship and cooperation of its citizens with American participation in the U.S. Antarctic Research Program.
