Saint Johns Range (77°17′S 162°0′E / 77.283°S 162.000°E / -77.283; 162.000) is a crescent-shaped mountain range about 20 nautical miles (37 km) long, in Victoria Land. It is bounded on the north by the Cotton, Miller and Debenham Glaciers, and on the south by Victoria Valley and the Victoria Upper and Victoria Lower Glaciers. Named by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1956–58, which surveyed peaks in the range in 1957. Named for St. Johns College at Cambridge, England, with which several members of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910–13) were associated during the writing of their scientific reports, and in association with the adjacent Gonville and Caius Range.
