The Gamburtsev Mountain Range (also known as the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains) is a subglacial mountain range located in Eastern Antarctica near Dome A. The range was discovered by the 3rd Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1958 and is named for Soviet geophysicist Grigoriy A. Gamburtsev. It is approximately 1200 kilometres (750 mi) long and the mountains are believed to be about 2700 metres (8900 ft) high although they are completely covered by over 600 metres (2000 ft) of ice and snow.
