The Warren Range is a mountain range around 25 km long in East Antarctica, Victoria Land . It rises immediately to the west of the Boomerang Range that runs parallel to it .
The northern group of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955-1958) discovered them and named the highest peak Mount Warren after Guyon Warren (1933-2003), a member of the group. In order to avoid confusion with Mount Warren in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland , the name was finally extended to the entire mountain range.
