The Supporters Range (85°04′S 169°30′E / 85.067°S 169.500°E) is a rugged range in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It is 25 nautical miles (46 km; 29 mi) long, bordering the eastern side of Mill Glacier, from Keltie Glacier in the north to Mill Stream Glacier in the south. So named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1961–62) because several peaks of the range are named after supporters of Ernest Shackleton's British Antarctic Expedition (1907–09).[1]
