The Cache Heights are a 5 km long, 3 km wide and snow-covered mountain range in the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Jones Mountains they pierce the continental ice sheet immediately northeast of the Bonnabeau Dome .
They were mapped and named during an expedition to the Jones Mountains undertaken by the University of Minnesota from 1960 to 1961. It is named after a food depot that was built here, which was spilled by masses of snow as a result of a blizzard .
