The Surveyors Range is a 50 km long mountain range in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It extends from the Thompson Mountain area north along the eastern flank of the Starshot Glacier to its confluence on the Shackleton Coast with the Ross Ice Shelf .
Participants of a 1960-1961 campaign carried out as part of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition named it in honor of the New Zealand surveyor ( English surveyors ), who had made the first geodetic works in the area.
