The Green Range is a mountain range about 12 km long and up to 760 m high on the Shackleton coast of the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It extends in a mainly north-south orientation at the northern end of the Queen Alexandra chain of the Transantarctic Mountains between the King Glacier and The Gateway .
The New Zealand Geographic Board named it in 2014 after the University of Waikato biologist Allan Green , who served on the Ross Dependency for over 35 years.
