Names that other countries have for this feature:
A massive ridge, 457m high, terminating as a divide between Murray and Dugdale Glaciers, in the Robertson Bay area of northern Victoria Land. The landward extension of this feature remains to be determined. First charted in 1889 by the BAE, 1898-1900,which named the highland between these glaciers Geikie Land, for Archibald Geikie. The generic "Land" has been changed to "ridge" since it is not appropriate for so small a feature, but Borchgrevink's intent in naming the whole mass has been respected.
