Commonwealth Range
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Commonwealth Range is a north-south trending range of rugged mountains, 100 km (60 mi) long, located on the continent of Antarctica. The range borders the eastern side of Beardmore Glacier from the Ross Ice Shelf to Keltie Glacier. Its highest peak is Flat Top at 4000 meters or 13,123 feet. [1]
The range was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09) and named by the expedition after the Commonwealth of Australia, which gave much assistance to the expedition. [2]
