It is located 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) east of Lyttelton Range in the Admiralty Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica.
Name
The Dunedin Range was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960–63.
It was named by United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for the city of Dunedin, New Zealand which over the years has had a close association with Antarctic expeditions; also in recognition of the friendship and cooperation of its citizens with American participation in the U.S. Antarctic Research Program.
Location
The Dunedin Range is in the north of the Admiralty Mountains.
It extended in the northwest-southeast direction from the Dennystoun Glacier, which flows along the west side, then turns past the northern tip of the range and runs east to the Southern Ocean.
The Rowles Glacier flows northwest along the east side of Dunedin Range to enter Dennistoun Glacier.
The Lyttelton Range is to the west of the Dennystoun Glacier.
The Nash Glacier and Wallis Glacier form to the east of the Dunedin Range.
Features include Jennings Peak and Brewer Peak to the southeast of the south end of the range, at the head of Pitkevitch Glacier.
