Davis Ridge

Davis Ridge (71°24′S 63°0′W) is a ridge of irregular shape, apparently an outlier of the Mount Jackson massif, in Antarctica. It rises above the ice surface 6 nautical miles (11 km) east-southeast of the summit of Mount Jackson in the eastern part of Palmer Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey in 1974, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Brent L. Davis, a United States Antarctic Research Program biologist at Palmer Station, 1971, and in the Antarctic Peninsula area, 1974–75 season.[1]
