Osterrieth Range

The Osterrieth Range is a mountain range extending in a north-east to south-west direction along the southeast coast of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago, within the British Antarctic Territory.

The range was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897–99, under Gerlache, and named by him for Madame Ernest (Anna) Osterrieth of Antwerp, a patron of the expedition.
