Betekhtin Range

The Betekhtin Range (-71.9°N, 11.53333°W) is a mountain range about 14 nmi long, forming the southern arm of the Humboldt Mountains in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.

Exploration and naming
The Betekhtin Range was discovered and plotted from air photos by the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939) (GerAE), mapped from air photos and from surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61. It was named after Soviet Academician Anatoliy Georgievich Betekhtin.
