Location
The Cobham Range trends in a northwest–southeast direction for about Шаблон:Convert in the southern part of the Churchill Mountains of the Ross Dependency, Antarctica.Шаблон:Sfn The Prince Philip Glacier runs south down the east side of the Cobham Range, and the Lucy Glacier runs southeast down the west side. They both feed the Nimrod Glacier, which flows to the northeast past the south end of the range. The Holyoake Range is east of the Cobham Range on the east side of the Prince Philip Glacier. The Queen Elizabeth Range is south of the Cobham Range on the south side of the Nimrod Glacier.Шаблон:Sfn
Early exploration and naming
The Cobham Range was mapped by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1961–62, and named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee for a former Governor-General of New Zealand, Lord Cobham.Шаблон:Sfn
Geology
The range gives its name to the "Cobham Formation". This is a sequence of interlayered quartzite, marble and schist of the albite-epidote hornfels facies. It is conformably overlain by greywacke and argillite of the Goldie Formation. The Cobham Formation crops out in the south-west portion of the Cobham Range as a strip about Шаблон:Convert wide extending from west of Mount Kopere south to Gargoyle Ridge.Шаблон:Sfn

Frustration Ridge
Шаблон:Coord. Ridge forming the north end of the Cobham Range in the Churchill Mountains. So named by the Holyoake, Cobham, and Queen Elizabeth Ranges party of the NZGSAE (1964–65) because although from below it looked a simple climb, great difficulty was experienced in traversing it.Шаблон:Sfn
Schroeder Peak
Шаблон:Coord. Peak, Шаблон:Convert high, standing Шаблон:Convert northwest of Mount Kopere in the Cobham Range. Mapped by the USGS from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1960-62. Named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for James E. Schroeder, United States Antarctic Program (USARP) glaciologist at Little America V, 1959-60.Шаблон:Sfn
Mount Kopere
Шаблон:Coord. Peak Шаблон:Convert northwest of Lyttelton Peak in the central part of Cobham Range. Named by the Holyoake, Cobham and Queen Elizabeth Ranges party of the NZGSAE (1964-65). Kopere is the Maori word for arrow; the peak's triangular cross section from most directions suggests an arrowhead.Шаблон:Sfn
Lyttelton Peak
Шаблон:Coord. The highest peak, 2,335 m, of the Cobham Range. Mapped by the NZGSAE (1961-62) and given the family name of the former Governor-General of New Zealand, Lord Cobham. Not: Lyttleton Peak.Шаблон:Sfn
Tarakanov Ridge
Шаблон:Coord. A prominent ridge from the Cobham Range, between the Gray Glacier and Prince Philip Glacier. Mapped by the USGS from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1960-62. Named by US-ACAN for Gennady Tarakanov, Soviet exchange scientist, meteorologist at McMurdo Station in 1963.Шаблон:Sfn
Gray Glacier
Шаблон:Coord. A glacier in the Cobham Range, Шаблон:Convert long, lying south of Tarakanov Ridge and flowing southeast to merge with Prince Philip Glacier where the two join the Nimrod Glacier. Named by the Holyoake, Cobham, and Queen Elizabeth Ranges party of the NZGSAE (1964-65) for M. Gray, postmaster and assistant radio officer at Scott Base, 1965.Шаблон:Sfn
Gargoyle Ridge
Шаблон:Coord. High rock ridge forming the south end of Cobham Range in the Churchill Mountains. So named by the Holyoake, Cobham, and Queen Elizabeth Ranges party of the NZGSAE (1964-65) because of the curiously wind-carved rock buttresses on top of the ridge.Шаблон:Sfn

Olson Névé
Шаблон:Main Шаблон:Coord. A névé on the northwest side of Cobham Range which nourishes the Lucy and Prince Philip Glaciers, in the Churchill Mountains. Mapped by the Holyoake, Cobham and Queen Elizabeth Ranges party of the NZGSAE (1964-65). Named for Lt. Dennis A. Olson, USN, who flew the New Zealand party to the névé and supported it during the summer season. The feature is incorrectly identified as "Olsen Névé"on some maps of the late 1960's.Шаблон:Sfn

Turret Nunatak
Шаблон:Coord. Elongated nunatak, Шаблон:Convert high, standing west of Cobham Range in the lower portion of Lucy Glacier. Mapped by the northern party of the NZGSAE (1961-62) and so named because of the turreted cliffs on its southern side.Шаблон:Sfn
Half Dome Nunatak
Шаблон:Main Шаблон:Coord. Nunatak lying Шаблон:Convert south of Cobham Range, at the mouth of Lucy Glacier. So named by the northern party of the NZGSAE (1961-62) because it is rounded on one side and cut into sheer cliffs on the other side.Шаблон:Sfn
Kon-Tiki Nunatak
