Coordinates: 54°25′S 36°32′W / 54.417°S 36.533°W / -54.417; -36.533 The Allardyce Range is a mountain range rising south of Cumberland Bay and dominating the central part of South Georgia, a UK overseas territory. Mount Paget (2,935m) is the highest peak of the range and also the highest point in the UK territory. Other peaks of the range include Mount Roots.
Although not shown on the charts of South Georgia by Cook in 1775 or Bellingshausen in 1819, peaks of this range were doubtless seen by those explorers. Named in about 1915, after Sir William Lamond Allardyce, Governor of the Falkland Islands, 1904-14.
Famous quotes containing the word range:
“A girl must allow others to share the responsibility for care, thus enabling others to care for her. She must learn how to care in ways appropriate to her age, her desires, and her needs; she then acts with authenticity. She must be allowed the freedom not to care; she then has access to a wide range of feelings and is able to care more fully.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
