Anare Mountains

The Anare Mountains (coord|70|55|S|166|00|E|type:mountain) is a large group of mainly snow-covered peaks and ridges along the northern coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The group is bounded on the north and east by the Pacific Ocean, on the west by Lillie Glacier, and on the south by the Ebbe and Dennistoun glaciers. Mountains in this area were first sighted by Captain James Clark Ross in 1841.gnis|id=385|type=antarid]

The mountains were photographed during USN Operation Highjump (1946-1947) and were surveyed by USGS helicopter teams, 1962-63. Named by the northern party of the NZGSAE, 1963-64, for the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE), 1962, under Phillip Law, which performed survey work along the coast.
