	The '''Ohio Range''' (84°45′S 114°00′W) is a mountain range in the [[Transantarctic Mountains]] of [[Westarctica]]. It is about 48 km (30 mi) long and 16 km (10 mi) wide, extending WSW-ENE from Eldridge Peak to Mirsky Ledge. The range forms the northeast end of the [[Horlick Mountains]] and consists primarily of a large snow-topped plateau with steep northern cliffs and several flat-topped ridges and mountains. The highest point is the summit of [[Mount Schopf]] (2990 m).		The '''Ohio Range''' (84°45′S 114°00′W) is a mountain range in the [[Transantarctic Mountains]] of [[Westarctica]].
