Exploration and naming

The name of the Homerun Range derives from "Homerun Bluff," a field name of the southern party of the New Zealand Federated Mountain Clubs Antarctic Expedition (NZFMCAE), 1962–63, used to denote a turning point in their traverse at this range to the airlift point and return to Scott Base. The entire range was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy air photos from 1960 to 1963.

Location

The Homerun Range is in the Admiralty Mountains, southeast of the Everett Range of the Concord Mountains. Robinson Heights and the Findlay Range are to the north and east. The McGregor Range is to the southeast. The Homerun Range runs from northwest to southeast, from Mount LeResche at the head of the Ebbe Glacier, past Mount Shelton to the point where the Rastorfer Glacier flows into the Tucker Glacier. The Elsner Ridge is on the east side of the Rastorfer Glacier. A line of hills between the Homerun Range and the Mirabito Range of the Concord Mountains includes Mount Armagost and Mount Seitz.
