Geikie Ridge (71°44′S 169°36′E / 71.733°S 169.600°E) is a massive mountain ridge, 20 nautical miles (37 km) long and 6 nautical miles (11 km) wide, forming the divide between Dugdale Glacier and Murray Glacier in the Admiralty Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was first charted by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900, under Carsten Borchgrevink, who named the high land between these glaciers "Geikie Land", after Sir Archibald Geikie (for whom Geikie Glacier and Geikie Inlet were also named). The generic "Land" has been changed to "Ridge", since it was not appropriate for so small a feature, but Borchgrevink's intent in naming the whole mass has been respected. This geographical feature lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams

  • Geikie Ridge ist ein wuchtiger Gebirgszug im Norden des ostantarktischen Viktorialands. Er bildet die Wasserscheide zwischen dem Dugdale-Gletscher und dem Murray-Gletscher in den Admiralitätsbergen. Erstmals kartiert wurde er von Teilnehmern der Southern-Cross-Expedition (1898–1900) unter der Leitung des norwegischen Polarforschers Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink. Borchgrevink benannte die ursprünglich als Hochebene identifizierte Formation als Geikieland nach dem britischen Geologen Archibald Geikie (1835–1924). (de)

  • Geikie Ridge är en bergstopp i Antarktis. Den ligger i Östantarktis. Nya Zeeland gör anspråk på området. Toppen på Geikie Ridge är 1 826 meter över havet, eller 61 meter över den omgivande terrängen. Bredden vid basen är 0,87 km. Terrängen runt Geikie Ridge är kuperad åt sydväst, men åt nordost är den bergig. Den högsta punkten i närheten är 2 188 meter över havet, 2,4 kilometer nordost om Geikie Ridge. Trakten är obefolkad. Det finns inga samhällen i närheten. (sv)

  • Geikie Ridge (in lingua inglese: Dorsale Geikie) è una massiccia dorsale antartica, lunga 37 km e larga 11 km, che forma lo spartiacque tra il Ghiacciaio Dugdale e il Ghiacciaio Murray, nei Monti dell'Ammiragliato, in Antartide. La dorsale è stata mappata per la prima volta dalla Spedizione Southern Cross (1898-1900), la prima spedizione britannica alla scoperta dell'Antartide guidata dall'esploratore norvegese naturalizzato australiano Carsten Borchgrevink, che assegnò all'altopiano compreso tra i due ghiacciai il nome di "Geikie Land" (Terra di Geikie) in onore del geologo scozzese Archibald Geikie ( a cui sono intitolati anche il e ). Il termine generico di "Terra", considerato non appropriato date le piccole dimensioni dell'elemento geografico, è stato successivamente modificato in "Ridge" (dorsale); è stata tuttavia rispettata l'intenzione originaria di Borchgrevink nell'attribuzione della denominazione.
