Leckie Range (Antarctica)

The Leckie Range is a mountain range located in Victoria Land, Antarctica. Situated west of the Kirkwood Range and north of the Fry Glacier, it forms part of the Transantarctic Mountains. The range is primarily composed of sedimentary rocks and features prominent exposed rock faces.

The Leckie Range was named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) in 1994 after Commander John Leckie, Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN), who served as Commanding Officer of HMNZS Endeavour on several Antarctic support voyages between 1964 and 1967.
