The DuBridge Range is a mountain range in the Admiralty Mountains in the north of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . The range extends over 32 km in a southwest-northeast direction between the Pitkevitch Glacier and the Shipley Glacier and ends close to the coast immediately west of Flat Island .
The United States Geological Survey mapped the area using aerial photographs taken by the United States Navy between 1960 and 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the mountain range in 1970 after Lee DuBridge (1901–1994), a member of the National Science Board and scientific advisor to US President Richard Nixon from 1969 to 1970.
