Convoy Range (76°47′S 160°45′E / 76.783°S 160.750°E) is a broad range in Antarctica.[1] It is south of the Kirkwood Range and north of the Clare Range.
Much of the range has a nearly flat plateau-like summit. It extends south from the Fry Saddle and ends at Mackay Glacier. The range has steep cliffs on its east side, but it slopes gently into the Cambridge Glacier on the western side.[1] It is a peneplain, with an early Paleozoic granitic basement covered in sedimentary and igneous rocks from the Permian–Triassic to the Jurassic.
