The East Quartzite Range (72°0′S 165°5′E / 72.000°S 165.083°E / -72.000; 165.083) is a mountain range, 12 nautical miles (22 km) long, forming a subordinate southwest unit of the King Range, in the Concord Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. These mountains lie approximately 5 nautical miles (9 km) east of the nearby West Quartzite Range. It was named by the Northern Party of the New Zealand Federated Mountain Clubs Antarctic Expedition (NZFMCAE), 1962–63, after the distinctive geological formation of the feature. These topographical features lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.[1]
