The range was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960–62. It was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Commander William Lanterman, an aerological officer for U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze, 1959–62.
