The Guettard Range (74°21′S 63°27′W / 74.350°S 63.450°W / -74.350; -63.450) is a mountain range, 40 nautical miles (74 km) long and 10 nautical miles (19 km) wide, located northwest of Bowman Peninsula and between Johnston Glacier and Irvine Glacier, in the southeastern extremity of Palmer Land, Antarctica. The feature was photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48. It was mapped from United States Geological Survey surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–67, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for French naturalist and geologist Jean-Étienne Guettard.[1]
