The Luncke Range (72°2′S 24°42′E) is a range of peaks rising to 3,020 metres (9,900 ft), extending in a north–south direction for 10 nautical miles (19 km) between Jennings Glacier and Gjel Glacier in the Sør Rondane Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named after Bernhard Luncke, a Norwegian cartographer who plotted the maps in H.E. Hansen's Atlas of Parts of the Antarctic Coastal Lands, 1946, and a revision covering the Sør Rondane Mountains, 1957.
