The Seabee Heights are a rugged and snow-capped mountain range in the Queen Maud Mountains of the Antarctic Ross Dependency . They tower up to 3400 m high, with an extension of 24 km in length and 8 km in width, between the DeGanahl , LaVergne and Liv glaciers .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after the Seabees construction regiment of the United States Navy , which had played an important role in the establishment of US research stations in the Antarctic.
