Heritage Range
Heritage Range (-79.75°N, -83°W) is a major mountain range, 100 nautical miles (180 km) long and 30 nautical miles (60 km) wide, situated southward of Minnesota Glacier and forming the southern half of the Ellsworth Mountains. The range is complex, consisting of scattered ridges and peaks of moderate height, escarpments, hills and nunataks, the various units of relief set off by numerous intervening glaciers. The northern portion of the range was probably first sighted by Lincoln Ellsworth in the course of his trans-Antarctic flight of November 23, 1935. In December 1959, E.C. Thiel, J.C. Craddock and E.S. Robinson conducted an aerial reconnaissance of the area, landing on a glacier in the northern part of the range. During the 1962-63 and 1963-64 seasons, the University of Minnesota expeditions made geologic and cartographic surveys of the range. The entire range was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from aerial photographs taken by the U.S. Navy, 1961-66. So named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) because topographic units within the range have received names relating to the theme of American heritage.

Surveyed in January 1960 by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) who discovered the glacier after several fruitless attempts to find a route out of the mountains east of Earnshaw Glacier. It provided an ideal "road" back to known country and was therefore named after Hermes, the god of roads in Greek mythology. This name by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) initiated the idea of naming other features in this area after Greek gods.

The name Blythe Bay, originally applied to a small bay on the southeast side of Desolation Island on Powell's chart of 1822 published by Laurie, was erroneously transferred to this bay in the l930s. This error has now been rectified and a new name approved for the feature here described. Hero Bay is named for the American sloop Hero, under Captain Nathaniel B. Palmer, which was one of the vessels of the Pendleton sealing fleet from Stonington which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820-21.
