Homerun Range

The Homerun Range (71°40′S 166°35′E) is a northwest-trending mountain range, 45 km (28 mi) long and 3 to 11 km (2 to 7 mi) wide, located east of Everett Range at the heads of the Ebbe and Tucker glaciers in Victoria Land, Antarctica.

The name derives from "Homerun Bluff," a field name of the southern party of NZFMCAE, 1962–63, used to denote a turning point in their traverse at this range to the airlift point and the return to Scott Base. The entire range was mapped by the USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-63.

Mountains of this range include Mount LeResche (2040m) and Mount Shelton (2485m).
