The group is bounded on the north and east by the Pacific Ocean, on the west by Lillie Glacier, and on the south by Ebbe Glacier and Dennistoun Glacier. They are north of the Concord Mountains and east of the Bowers Mountains.

Exploration and naming

Mountains in this area were first sighted by Captain James Clark Ross in 1841. They were photographed during United States Navy Operation Highjump (1946–1947) and were surveyed by United States Geological Survey (USGS) helicopter teams, 1962–63. The Anare Mountains were named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1963–64, for the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE), 1962, under Phillip Law, which performed survey work along the coast.

In the northwest the Anare Mountains extend along the Pacific coast to the east of Ob' Bay and the Lillie Glacier. Zykov Glacier flows north through the mountains to the Pacific. George Glacier, Beaman Glacier and McLean Glacier flow east into Lillie Glacier. In the southwest, the Ebbe Glacier flows west into Lillie Glacier and defines the southern boundary of the Anare Mountains. The Everett Range lies to the south.

Further east, McMahon Glacier and Kirkby Glacier flow north to the Pacific to the west of the Davis Ice Piedmont and Yule Bay. The O'Hara Glacier and Fortenberry Glacier flow into Yule Bay to the east of Tapsell Foreland. The Barnett Glacier flows east from the mountains into Smith Inlet at the eastern edge of the mountains. In the southeast, Robertson Glacier flows south to join Ebbe Glacier. Anare Pass lies between Ebbe Glacier and Dennistoun Glacier, which defines the southeast boundary of the mountains. South of the mountains are the Everett Range, Robinson Heights and Dunedin Range in the Admiralty Mountains.
