The Victory Mountains (72°40′S 168°00′E / 72.667°S 168.000°E) are a major group of mountains in Victoria Land, Antarctica, about 100 nautical miles (190 km; 120 mi) long and 50 nautical miles (93 km; 58 mi) wide, which is bounded primarily by Mariner and Tucker glaciers and the Ross Sea.[1] They are north of the Mountaineer Range, east of the Freyberg Mountains and south of the Concord Mountains and the Admiralty Mountains.[2][3][4][5] The division between the Victory Mountains and the Concord Mountains (to the northwest) is not precise but apparently lies in the vicinity of Thomson Peak.[1]
