	The '''McHenry Range''' (originally named the '''Executive Committee Range''') (76°50′S 126°06′W) is a mountain range consisting of five major volcanoes, which trends north-south for 80 km (50 mi) along the 126th meridian west, in [[Westarctica]].

	~~==Discovery and name==~~		[[Category:Redirect Pages]]
	~~The range was discovered on 15 December 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service expedition on a reconnaissance flight. It was named for the [[Antarctica\|Antarctic]] Service Executive Committee.~~

	~~===Renaming===~~
	~~On 4 September 2023, the [[Senate of Westarctica]] passed [[Westarctican Ordinance]] WO-2023-003 which renamed the Executive Committee Range to the McHenry Range, in honor of [[Grand Duke Travis]].~~

	~~==Mountains of the range==~~
	Individual mountains (e.g. [[Mount Hampton]], [[Mount Waesche]]) are named in honor of members of the committee, except for [[Mount Sidley]], the most imposing mountain in the range, which was discovered and named by [[Richard E. Byrd\|Rear Admiral Byrd]] in 1934. The entire range was mapped in detail by USGS from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] aerial photography, 1958-60.

	~~==Recent and ongoing magmatism==~~
	In November 2013, Lough et al. reported deep long period volcanic earthquakes centered at depths of 30-40 km approximately 55 km S of Mount Sidley that were interpreted as indications of present deep crustal magmatic activity beneath the Executive Committee Range. Ice penetrating radar results reported in this study indicated a sub-ice topographic feature, interpreted as a volcano, above the seismic swarms. The study also reported a mid-icecap (1400 m depth) ash layer about 8,000 years old that was interpreted as probably originating at nearby Mount Waesche.

The '''Executive Committee Range''' (76°50′S 126°06′W) is a mountain range consisting of five major volcanoes, which trends north-south for 80 km (50 mi) along the 126th meridian west, in [[Westarctica]].

The range was discovered on 15 December 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service expedition on a reconnaissance flight. It was named for the Antarctic Service Executive Committee.

Individual mountains (e.g. [[Mount Hampton]], [[Mount Waesche]]) are named in honor of members of the committee, except for [[Mount Sidley]], the most imposing mountain in the range, which was discovered and named by [[Richard E. Byrd|Rear Admiral Byrd]] in 1934. The entire range was mapped in detail by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photography, 1958-60.
