It is 25 nmi long, bordering the eastern side of Mill Glacier, from Keltie Glacier in the north to Mill Stream Glacier in the south. So named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1961–62) because several peaks of the range are named after supporters of Ernest Shackleton's British Antarctic Expedition (1907–09).

Location

The northern point of the range lies between Keltie Glacier, flowing from the east, and Mill Glacier flowing from the south and converging with Beardmore Glacier. Ranfurly Point is its northernmost point. Laird Glacier flows from the range in Keltie Glacier, and Snakeskin Glacier flows along the northeast side of the range into Keltie Glacier. Other features in the north include Scully Terrace, Mount Kinsey and Mount Westminster. Features further south include Mount Iveagh, Mount Judd, Mount White and Mount Henry Lucy. The Jensen Glacier flows along the southeast of the range, separated from the Snakeskin Glacier by the Lhasa Nunatak.
