Antarctic Gazetteer
Name Details: Geikie Ridge
(United States Gazetteer Id 125599)
This name originates from United States of America, but is also called Geikie Ridge (New Zealand).
It is part of the United States Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
A massive mountain ridge, 32 km long and 10 km wide, forming the divide between Dugdale Glacier and Murray Glacier in the Admiralty Mountains of Victoria Land. First charted by the BrAE, 1898-1900, under C.E. Borchgrevink, who named the high land between these glaciers Geikie Land, after Sir Archibald Geikie (Geikie Glacier and Geikie Inlet, q.v.). The generic "Land" has been changed to "Ridge," since it was more appropriate for the feature, but Borchgrevink's intent in naming the whole mass has been respected.
