The Insel Range (77°24′S 161°18′E / 77.400°S 161.300°E) is a series of ice-free flat-topped peaks resembling islands which rise above the surrounding terrain and separate McKelvey Valley from Balham Valley, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was so named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE, 1958–59) because of the resemblance to islands.[1]
