ThePantheon Range is a subrange of thePacific Ranges of theCoast Mountains inBritish Columbia. It is located between the edge of theChilcotin Plateau atTatla Lake on its northeast and theKlinaklini River on its west, with a southeastern boundary along Mosley Creek, a major tributary of theHomathko River. The range is 5,550 km2 (2,140 sq mi) in area and extremely rugged, with many sharp, glaciated peaks.
As is shown in theCanadian Mountain Encyclopedia map, the Pantheon Range is north of the Waddington and Niut Ranges, which corresponds with the official 1:50,000 maps.
The range's highest summits are Mount Vishnu 3,008 m (9,869 ft), Mount Astarte 2,959 m (9,708 ft) and Mount Zeus 2,982 m (9,783 ft). Most of the range's peaks have names of gods or other deities, e.g. Thoth, Hermes, Polyphemus, etc. - hence the name.
Immediately south of thePantheon Range is the much higherWaddington Range, home to the highest peak in theCoast Mountains,Mount Waddington, and to the south of that is theWhitemantle Range. Southeast across Mosley Creek, the main west fork of theHomathko River, is theNiut Range, while south of it across theHomathko River is theHomathko Icefield and its attendant ranges.
West across theKlinaklini River is theHa-Iltzuk Icefield, which is the largest of the coastal icecaps of the southernCoast Mountains, larger than theWaddington Range's complex of glaciers and peaks or theHomathko Icefield. North of thePantheon Range is the northwestern end of theChilcotin Ranges while farther north, beyond the head of theKlinaklini, is theRainbow Range, which lies on theChilcotin Plateau.
