geo.wikisort.org - MountainsHolyoake Range (82°13′S 160°0′E) is a mountain range in the southern section of the Churchill Mountains, extending in a northwest–southeast direction for about 25 nautical miles (46 km) between Prince Philip Glacier and Errant Glacier.
It and the Churchill Mountains are part of the Transantarctic Mountains System.
The Holyoake Range was named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the Rt. Hon.

[it] Dorsale Holyoake
La dorsale Holyoake è una catena montuosa dell'Antartide. Situata in particolare nella Terra di Oates, e più precisamente in corrispondenza della costa di Shackleton, davanti alla barriera di Ross, la dorsale, che fa parte della più vasta catena delle montagne di Churchill, si estende in direzione nord-sud per circa 60 km. La catena, la cui vetta più elevata risulta essere quella del monte Hunt, che arriva a 3239 m s.l.m., è delimitata a nord dal ghiacciaio Starshot, a est dal ghiacciaio Errante, a ovest dal ghiacciaio del Principe Filippo, che la divide dalla dorsale Cobham, e a sud, dove termina con la scogliera Cambriana, dal ghiacciaio Nimrod.[1]
