Posey Range

Posey Range (-71.2°N, 164°W) is a mountain range in eastern Bowers Mountains, bounded by the Smithson Glacier, Graveson Glacier, Lillie Glacier and Champness Glacier.

Exploration and naming
The Posey Range was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from ground surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960–62. It was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Julian W. Posey, meteorologist, who was scientific leader at South Pole Station, winter party 1959.

Location
The Champness Glacier defines the south edge of the Posey Range, running east to join the Lillie Glacier, which flows north to the sea and defines the eastern edge of the range. The Smithson Glacier flow north past the southern part of the range and joins the Graveson Glacier, which continues north and joins the Lillie Glacier at the north tip of the range. The Cosey Range is east of the Explorers Range and west of the Everett Range. To its south is the massif that contain Mount Stirling.
