Cobham Range

The Cobham Range trends in a northwest–southeast direction for about 20 nautical miles (40 km), standing west of Prince Philip Glacier in the southern part of the Churchill Mountains. It was mapped by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1961–62, and named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee for a former Governor-General of New Zealand, Lord Cobham.[1]
