The Supporters Range (85°04′S 169°30′E / 85.067°S 169.5°E / -85.067; 169.5) is a rugged range of mountains in Antarctica, 40 km 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 GSAE (1961-62) because several peaks of the range are named after supporters of Ernest Shackleton's British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09).
Among the mountains in this range is Mount Iveagh, a 3422 metre peak on the east side of the Beardmore Glacier. Mount Iveagh was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition and named for Edward Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, of the firm of Guinness, who helped finance the expedition.
Famous quotes containing the words supporters and/or range:
“His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“The ideal of the self-sufficient American family is a myth, dangerous because most families, especially affluent families, do in fact make use of a range of services to survive. Families needing one or another kind of help are not morally deficient; most families do need assistance at one time or another.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
