# Conway Range

Conway Range (79°16′S 159°30′E﻿ / ﻿79.267°S 159.500°E﻿ / -79.267; 159.500) is a mountain range in the Cook Mountains of Antarctica, on the west edge of the Ross Ice Shelf. It is south of the Worcester Range.

## Location

The Conway Range is in the northeast part of the Cook Mountains. It lies between Mulock Glacier to the north and Carlyon Glacier to the south, both of which empty into the Ross Ice Shelf. The Worcester Range forms the other side of the Mulock Glacier. The Heap Glacier enters the Mulock Glacier to the west of the north end of the range.
The range was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–1904, but the name appears to be first used in the reports of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–1909.
