The Supporters Range ( English for supporters chain is) a harsh Antarctic mountain range of around 40 km in length in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It flanks the Mill Glacier to the east and extends from the Keltie Glacier in the north to the Mill Stream Glacier in the south. It includes:
- Mount White ( 3470 m )
- Mount Iveagh ( 3422 m )
- Mount Westminster ( 3370 m )
- Mount Kinsey ( 3,110 m )
- Mount Henry Lucy ( 3020 m )
Participants in a campaign carried out from 1961 to 1962 as part of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition named them in reference to some of their peaks, which the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton discovered during his Nimrod expedition (1907-1909) and named after supporters of the expedition would have.
