Convoy Range

Convoy Range (76°47′S 160°45′E / 76.783°S 160.75°E / -76.783; 160.75) is a broad range, much of it with an almost flat, plateau-like summit, extending south from the Fry Saddle and ending at Mackay Glacier. The range is steeply cliffed on its east side, but on the west it slopes gently into the Cambridge Glacier.

The New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956-58) worked in this area in 1957. The range was named by them after the main convoy into McMurdo Sound in the 1956-57 season, the names of the various vessels being used for features in the range.
