Frigate Range

The Frigate Range (82°48′S 162°20′E) is a high mountain range extending 12 nautical miles (22 km) east from Mount Markham in the Queen Elizabeth Range of Antarctica. It was named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) to commemorate the work of the New Zealand frigates on Antarctic patrol duties.[1]
