The **Conger Range**, also called the **Conger Mountains**, is a [mountain range](/source/Mountain_range) in [Quttinirpaaq National Park](/source/Quttinirpaaq_National_Park) on [Ellesmere Island](/source/Ellesmere_Island), [Nunavut](/source/Nunavut), Canada, beginning about 16 km (10 mi) west of [Mount Osborne](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mount_Osborne_(Canada)&action=edit&redlink=1). It is part of the [Arctic Cordillera](/source/Arctic_Cordillera) which is a vast dissected mountain system extending from Ellesmere Island to the northernmost tip of [Labrador](/source/Labrador) and northeastern [Quebec](/source/Quebec). The Conger Range is a structural extension of the [Garfield Range](/source/Garfield_Range) and continues into the highlands north of the head of [Hare Fiord](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hare_Fiord&action=edit&redlink=1). The overall extent of the range is about 180 km (112 mi). Most of its peaks are ice-covered, although nearly all of the southern slopes are ice-free. Many of the valleys between the peaks are filled with glacial tongues spilling out to the south from the Grand Land Ice Cap. Its highest point is [Mount Biederbick](/source/Mount_Biederbick) at 1,542 m (5,059 ft).

The Conger Range was named by [American](/source/Americans) [Polar](/source/Polar_region) explorer [Adolphus Greely](/source/Adolphus_Greely), who sighted them during a dog sledding exploration to the interior of northern Ellesmere Island in 1882.[1]
