Halle Range
The Halle Range or Halle Mountains (Danish: Hallebjergene) is a mountain range in Clavering Island, King Christian X Land, northeastern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park zone.
The range was named by Lauge Koch during his 1929–30 expedition after Thore Gustav Halle (1884–1964), a professor at the University of Stockholm who had worked on the plant samples brought by the expedition. Formerly it had been also known as Joh. H. Andresenfjellet.
