The Holland Range (83°10′S 166°0′E / 83.167°S 166.000°E / -83.167; 166.000) is a rugged coastal mountain range in the Ross Dependency, Antarctica, on the west coast of the Ross Ice Shelf. It is about 60 nautical miles (110 km) long.

Location edit

The Holland Range lies just west of the Ross Ice Shelf and extends from Robb Glacier in the northeast to Lennox-King Glacier in the south.[1] To the north of the range is the "island" that holds Cape Lyttelton. To the west, on the west side of Robb Glacier, is the Queen Elizabeth Range.[2] To the south, across the Lennox-King Glacier, is the Queen Alexandra Range.[3]

The range was named by the Ross Sea Committee for Sir Sidney Holland, who as Prime Minister of New Zealand supported that nation's participation in the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58).[1]

Glaciers edit

The Robb Glacier flows from Clarkson Peak north along the east side of Softbed Ridges to the Ross Ice Shelf at Cape Goldie.[4] It flows between the Queen Elizabeth Range to the west and the Holland Range to the east. To the north of Softbed Ridges it converges with Lowery Glacier, which is to the west, but the two glaciers separate when they reach Taylor Hills.[2] Bondeson Glacier flows north along the east side of Benson Ridge into the lower portion of Robb Glacier.[5] Cleaves Glacier flows northwest from Mount Reid into the east side of Robb Glacier.[6]

Further south down the coast, Davidson Glacier flows north along the east side of Longstaff Peaks into the Ross Ice Shelf.[7] Jacobsen Glacier flows east-north-east Mount Reid into the Ross Ice Shelf.[8] Ekblad Glacier flows from the east slopes of the Holland Range into Wise Bay, Ross Ice Shelf.[9] Lennox-King Glacier is a large valley glacier, about 40 miles (64 km) long, that drains Bowden Névé and flows northeast between the Holland and Queen Alexandra Ranges to enter Richards Inlet on the Ross Ice Shelf. Several tributary glaciers in the Holland Range feed the Lennox-King Glacier.[3]
