It extends between 10°21' and 10°31'S and 76°41' and 76°50'W for about 20 km. It lies a few kilometres southeast of Huayhuash mountain range. The highest mountain in the range is Yarupac at .

Notable glaciated areas in this range are: Leon Huaccanan-Azuljanka, which is a plateau of 10 km. long and
Tectonic evolution of the Transantarctic Mountains were great enough to cancel out any possible surface uplift. The third denudation event took place during the Early Cenozoic. During the Cenozoic rock was uplifted anywhere from 7 km to 10 km, with the highest elevation toward the front of the range and decreasing as one moves inland. Tectonic evolution of the Transantarctic Mountains The tectonic evolution of the Transantarctic Mountains appears to have begun when Antarctica broke away from Australia during the late Cretaceous and is ongoing, creating along the way some of the longest mountain ranges (at 3500 kilometers) formed by rift flank uplift and associated continental
