Editing Wisconsin Range (section)

==Discovery and naming==
The Wisconsin Range was mapped by the [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from surveys and [[United States Navy]] air photos, 1959–64. 
It was named by the United States [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) for the [[University of Wisconsin–Madison]], [[Madison, Wisconsin]], which has sent numerous researchers to Antarctica.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=820}}

The first air photographs of the Wisconsin Range were taken by United States Navy Taskforce 68 during Operation Highjump in 1946–47.
In 1958 an oversnow tractor train drove from [[Byrd Station]] in West Antarctica to a temporary station on the Ross Ice Shelf. From there, William E. Long and F. Darling walked south to the Wisconsin Range escarpment and gathered samples of granitic rock from Mount LeSchack.
In 1964–65 Gunter Faure and John H. Mercer led a group of geologists from what is now the [[Byrd Polar Research Center]] of [[Ohio State University]] to study the Wisconsin Range and the Long Hills, using snowmobiles and three United States Army helicopters to access all parts of the area.{{sfn|Faure|Mensing|2010|p=201}}
