The British Empire Range is a mountain range on Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, Canada. The range is one of the most northern ranges in the world〔(British Empire Range ) at the Atlas of Canada〕 and the Arctic Cordillera, surpassed only by the Challenger Mountains〔(The Challenger Mountains ) at the Atlas of Canada〕 which lies immediately to the northwest and the United States Range〔(The United States Range ) at the Atlas of Canada〕 slightly further east. The highest mountain in the range is Barbeau Peak. The range was named by Gordon Noel Humphreys during the ''Oxford University Ellesmere Land Expedition''. Edward Shackleton, also a member of the party, claimed, in 1937, that Humphreys had done so because he was "a great imperialist". Peaks of the range include: ==References==
