Deep Freeze Range
The Deep Freeze Range (74°15′S 163°45′E / 74.250°S 163.750°E) is a rugged mountain range, over 80 nautical miles (150 km; 92 mi) long and about 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) wide, rising between Priestley and Campbell Glaciers in Victoria Land, Antarctica, and extending from the edge of the polar plateau to Terra Nova Bay. It is southwest of the Southern Cross Mountains, south of the Mesa Range and northeast of the Eisenhower Range of the Prince Albert Mountains.
Peaks in the low and mid portions of the range were observed by early British expeditions to the Ross Sea. The range was mapped in detail by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1955-63. It was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in recognition of the support to research provided by the U.S. Navy's Operation Deep Freeze expeditions to Antarctica for many years beginning in 1954.

The Deep Freeze Range extends from southeast to northwest, between Priestley Glacier and Campbell Glacier. The narrow northwest end of the range ends in Szanto Spur, and includes Wasson Rock. The Reeves Névé lies to the west. The range extends north to Archambault Ridge, south of Rainey Glacier. To the south of this along the west of Campbell Glacier are Mount Pollock, Recoil Glacier, Mount Gibbs, Harper Glacier, Mount Mankinen, Mount Adamson and Rebuff Glacier. Further south are Shafer Peak, Mount Cavaney, Capsize Glacier, Mount Levick, the Tourmaline Plateau, Mount Emison, the Howard Peaks, Bates Glacier, Mills Peak, Mount Queensland, Mount Burrows, the Corner Glacier, Mount Dickason, Miller Nunatak, Boomerang Glacier, Mount Keinath and Browning Pass. The Northern Foothills are south of Browning Pass.
Features, from north to south, include:
73°45′S 162°47′E / 73.750°S 162.783°E. A symmetrical mountain, 2,640 metres (8,660 ft) high, that rises above the midportion of Recoil Glacier just south of Archambault Ridge, in the Deep Freeze Range. Mapped by USGS from surveys and US. Navy air photos, 1960-64. Named by US-ACAN for Herbert W. Pollock, United States Navy, construction electrician at McMurdo Station, 1962 and 1967.
73°49′S 162°56′E / 73.817°S 162.933°E. A mountain 3,140 metres (10,300 ft) high rising on the south side of Recoil Glacier in the Deep Freeze Range. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960-64. Named by US-ACAN for Lieutenant Maurice E. Gibbs, United States Navy, meteorological officer at McMurdo Station, 1967.
73°54′S 163°06′E / 73.900°S 163.100°E. A mountain 2,910 metres (9,550 ft) high situated 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) northeast of Mount Adamson in the Deep Freeze Range. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960-64. Named by US-ACAN for Edward A. Mankinen, geologist at McMurdo Station, 1965-66.
