Narrative

A rocky, ridge, 571m high at its northern end, extending north-northeastward for 4.4km from Mount Suess, south of Mackay Glacier, Victoria Land. Feature shown on: NZ AntTopo50-MD08

Named For

Charted by the Western Geological Party, led by Taylor, of the British Antarctic Expedition (Terra Nova expedition, BrAE), 1910-13, in December 1911. Named by Taylor at Debenham's suggestion, because Mount Suess (which they had intended to call Mount Gondola), to which the ridge is joined, is shaped like a gondola. Not Gondola Nunakol, or Gondola Nunatak.
