The Conway Range is a mountain range in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It looms between the Mulock and Carlyon glaciers in the Cook Mountains of the Transantarctic Mountains .
The mountain range was discovered by participants in the Nimrod expedition (1907-1909) led by the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton . The naming is not passed down; the mountain range is probably named after the British mountaineer William Martin Conway (1856–1937).
