Names that other countries have for this feature:
A ridge that parallels the S flank of Commonwealth Glacier, 0.5 mi N of Mount Falconer, lower Taylor Valley, Victoria Land. The VUWAE, 1965-66, called this feature "Smith Ridge," presumably after I. Smith, a member of the VUWAE field party, but that toponym is already in use for other features. It is therefore recommended that it not be approved and that this ridge be named after Edward D. Ghent, leader of the 1965-66 VUWAE, later with the Department of Geology, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
