Location
The West Quartzite Range is part of the Concord Mountains.Template:Sfn The range runs northwest–southeast, parallel to the East Quartzite Range to the east. The Houliston Glacier to its west separates it from the Neall Massif and Jago Nunataks. The Salamander Range of the Freyberg Mountains is further to the west. The line of the range extends towards the Destination Nunataks to the southeast.Template:Sfn The Black Glacier lies to the north of the Leitch Massif, the northern end of the range.Template:Sfn
