The Osborn Range is a small mountain range located on the northwest flank of Tanquary Fiord on north-central Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. It lies just outside Quttinirpaaq National Park and is one of the northernmost mountain ranges in the world forming part of the Arctic Cordillera.[1]
The only named summit in the Osborn Range is Mount Townsend 1235m (4,052feet) at the southwest edge of the Osborn Range near McKinley Bay, formed by the Chapman Glacier.
A well-known glacier called Gull Glacier lies in the Conger Range.
