An icefall in the Lanterman Range

The Lanterman Range (71°40′S 163°10′E / 71.667°S 163.167°E / -71.667; 163.167) is a mountain range about 35 nautical miles (60 km) long and 12 nautical miles (22 km) wide, forming the southwest part of the Bowers Mountains in Antarctica. It is bounded by the Rennick, Sledgers, Black and Canham Glaciers. The range was mapped by United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–62, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Commander William Lanterman, an aerological officer for U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze, 1959–62.[1]
