==Exploration and naming== The range was surveyed in 1958β59 by the [[United States Antarctic Research Program]] (USARP) [[Horlick Mountains Traverse]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=540}} In October 1958 William E. Long (for whom the [[Long Hills]] are named{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=442}}) made a round trip by air from the Byrd Station in West Antarctica over the [[Wisconsin Range]], Ohio Range, [[Thiel Mountains]] and [[Whitmore Mountains]]. Long noted that the Ohio Range has a thick layer of stratified rocks. Later a tractor train visited the base of Mount Glossopteris, where four of the party climbed the mountain and collected samples of rock and fossils.{{sfn|Faure|Mensing|2010|p=319}} The range was investigated in 1960β61 and 1961β62 by geologists of the [[Institute of Polar Studies]] of [[Ohio State University]], for which the range is named.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=540}}
