They comprise the [[Everett Range]], [[Mirabito Range]], [[King Range (Antarctica)|King Range]], [[Leitch Massif]], [[East Quartzite Range]] and [[West Quartzite Range]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|pp=147β148}} They are north of the [[Admiralty Mountains]], northeast of the [[Victory Mountains]], southeast of the [[Bowers Mountains]] and south of the [[Anare Mountains]]. {{TOC limit|2}} ==Exploration and naming== The Concord Mountains were mapped by the [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from surveys and [[United States Navy]] aerial photographs from 1960β63. The name "Concord" was chosen by the northern party of the [[New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition]] (NZGSAE), which explored the area in 1963β64, in honor of international harmony in Antarctica, and in particular for the fact that five nations participated in the region's exploration.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|pp=147β148}} ==Location== The [[Leitch Massif]] and [[King Range (Antarctica)|King Range]] in the west of the Concord Mountains lie to the southeast of the [[Bowers Mountains]], from which they are separated by the [[Black Glacier]], a tributary of the [[Lillie Glacier]]. The [[Mirabito Range]] and [[Everett Range]] in the northwest of the Concord Mountains lie to the east of the [[Bowers Mountains]], from which they are separated by the [[Lillie Glacier]].{{sfn|Mount Soza USGS}} The [[Ebbe Glacier]], a tributary of the Lillie Glacier, runs to the north and east of the Everett Range, separating it from the [[Anare Mountains]] to the northeast and from [[Robinson Heights]] in the [[Admiralty Mountains]] to the east. Further south the [[Homerun Range]] of the Admiralty Mountains lies to the east of the Mirabito Range.{{sfn|Ebbe Glacier USGS}} The [[Victory Mountains]] extend across the south of the range between the [[Jutland Glacier]] and the [[Tucker Glacier]].{{sfn|Cape Hallet USGS}} The [[East Quartzite Range]] and [[West Quartzite Range]] in the southeast of the Concord Mountains are to the north of the Victory Mountains and east of the [[Salamander Range]] of the [[Freyberg Mountains]].{{sfn|Freyberg Mountains USGS}} ==Glaciers== {{geogroup|section=Glaciers}} {{Image frame|width=400|content=[[File:C71195s1 Ant.Map Mount Soza.jpg|200px]][[File:C71192s1 Ant.Map Ebbe Glacier.jpg|200px]] [[File:C72193s5 Ant.Map Freyberg Mountains.jpg|200px]][[File:C72189s1 Ant.Map Cape Hallet.jpg|200px]] |caption=Concord Mountains in center of the group of maps}} * [[Lillie Glacier]] {{coord|70|45|S|163|55|E|name=Lillie Glacier}}, a large [[glacier]] in Antarctica, about {{Convert|100|nmi}} long and {{Convert|10|nmi}} wide. It lies between the [[Bowers Mountains]] on the west and the Concord Mountains and [[Anare Mountains]] on the east, flowing to [[Ob' Bay]] on the coast and forming the Lillie Glacier Tongue.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=433}} * [[Black Glacier]] {{coord|71|40|S|164|42|E|name=Black Glacier}}, a broad tributary to the Lillie Glacier flowing northeast, marking the southeast extent of the [[Bowers Mountains]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=70}} * [[Ebbe Glacier]] {{coord|71|03|S|164|45|E|name=Ebbe Glacier}}, a tributary glacier about {{convert|60|nmi}} long, draining northwest from the [[Homerun Range]] and [[Robinson Heights]], and then west-northwest between the Everett Range and Anare Mountains into Lillie Glacier. This feature saddles with [[Tucker Glacier]], the latter draining southeast to the [[Ross Sea]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=210}} * [[Rawle Glacier]] {{coord|71|50|S|164|40|E|name=Rawle Glacier}}, a tributary glacier in the Concord Mountains, flowing northwest between [[Leitch Massif]] and [[King Range (Antarctica)|King Range]] into the Black Glacier.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=606}} * [[Houliston Glacier]] {{coord|72|00|S|164|34|E|name=Houliston Glacier}}, a tributary glacier between [[Neall Massif]] and [[West Quartzite Range]], flowing northwest into Black Glacier.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=348}} * [[Greenwell Glacier]] {{coord|71|20|S|165|00|E|name=Greenwell Glacier}}, a major tributary glacier, {{convert|45|nmi}} long, draining northwest between [[Mirabito Range]] and [[Everett Range]] to enter Lillie Glacier below [[Mount Works]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=294}} * [[Jutland Glacier]] {{coord|71|55|S|166|12|E|name=Jutland Glacier}}, a broad tributary glacier, {{convert|15|nmi}} long and {{convert|4|nmi}} wide, in the [[Victory Mountains]]. It drains northwest from a common divide with [[Midway Glacier]] to join the flow of the Greenwell Glacier northwest of [[Boss Peak]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=379}} ==Ranges== {{geogroup|section=Ranges}} * [[Everett Range]] {{coord|71|20|S|165|40|E|name=Everett Range}}, a rugged, mainly ice-covered range nearly {{convert|60|nmi}} long between [[Greenwell Glacier]] and [[Ebbe Glacier]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=229}} * [[Mirabito Range]] {{coord|71|40|S|165|27|E|name=Mirabito Range}}, a narrow, northwest-trending [[mountain range]], {{convert|64|km}} long and {{convert|6|km}} wide that lies between the upper part of [[Lillie Glacier]] and the [[Greenwell Glacier]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=495}} * [[King Range (Antarctica)|King Range]] {{coord|71|52|S|165|03|E|name=King Range}}, a [[mountain range]], {{convert|14|nmi}} long and {{convert|5|nmi}} wide, in northwestern [[Victoria Land]], [[Antarctica]]. The range is bounded on the west by [[Rawle Glacier]] and [[Leitch Massif]], on the northwest by [[Black Glacier]] and on the NE and east by the head of [[Lillie Glacier]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=393}} * [[East Quartzite Range]] {{coord|72|0|S|165|5|E|source:GNIS|name=East Quartzite Range}}, a mountain range, {{convert|12|nmi}} long, forming a subordinate southwest unit of the [[King Range (Antarctica)|King Range]]. These mountains lie approximately {{convert|5|nmi}} east of the nearby [[West Quartzite Range]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=209}} * [[West Quartzite Range]] {{Coord|72|0|S|164|45|E|name=West Quartzite Range}}, a range, the western of two parallel [[quartzite]] ranges, situated at the east side of [[Houliston Glacier]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=806}} ==References== {{reflist |25em}} ==Sources== {{refbegin}} *{{citation|url=https://pubs.usgs.gov/fedgov/70039167/report.pdf |accessdate=2024-03-06 |edition=2 |editor-last=Alberts |title=Geographic Names of the Antarctic |editor-first=Fred G. |publisher=United States Board on Geographic Names |year=1995}} {{Include-USGov |agency=United States Board on Geographic Names}} *{{citation |url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:C72189s1_Ant.Map_Cape_Hallet.jpg |accessdate=2024-03-10 |title=Cape Hallet |publisher=USGS: United States Geographic Board |ref={{harvid|Cape Hallet USGS}} }} *{{citation |url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:C71192s1_Ant.Map_Ebbe_Glacier.jpg |accessdate=2024-03-10 |title=Ebbe Glacier |publisher=USGS: United States Geographic Board |ref={{harvid|Ebbe Glacier USGS}} }} *{{citation |url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:C72193s5_Ant.Map_Freyberg_Mountains.jpg |accessdate=2024-03-10 |title=Freyberg Mountains |publisher=USGS: United States Geographic Board |ref={{harvid|Freyberg Mountains USGS}} }} *{{citation |url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:C71195s1_Ant.Map_Mount_Soza.jpg |accessdate=2024-03-10 |title=Mount Soza |publisher=USGS: United States Geographic Board |ref={{harvid|Mount Soza USGS}} }} {{refend}} {{Include-USGov |agency=United States Geological Survey}} [[Category:Mountain ranges of Victoria Land]] [[Category:Pennell Coast]]
