The Longhorn Spurs (84°36′S 174°45′W / 84.600°S 174.750°W) form a high ridge, 12 nautical miles (22 km) long, extending north from the Prince Olav Mountains of Antarctica between Massam Glacier and Barrett Glacier to the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf. A series of rock spurs extend from the west side. The ridge was visited and so named by the Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Party (1964–65) because of the resemblance of the spurs to the horns of longhorn cattle.

  • Die Longhorn Spurs sind ein 19 km langer Gebirgskamm an der Dufek-Küste der antarktischen Ross Dependency. Er erstreckt sich von den Prince Olav Mountains nach Norden zwischen dem Massam- und dem Barrett-Gletscher bis zum Südrand des Ross-Schelfeises. Auf der Westseite der Formation befinden sich eine Reihe von Felsspornen. Teilnehmer der Expedition der Texas Tech University zum Shackleton-Gletscher (1964–1965) erkundeten diesen Gebirgskamm und benannten ihn so, da die Felssporne in ihrer Form an die Hörner von Rindern der Rasse Texas Longhorn erinnern.

  • I Longhorn Spurs (in lingua inglese: speroni rocciosi longhorn) formano una dorsale montuosa antartica, lunga 22 km, che si estende verso nord fino al bordo della Barriera di Ross, tra il Ghiacciaio Massam e il Ghiacciaio Barrett, nelle Prince Olav Mountains, catena montuosa che fa parte dei Monti della Regina Maud, in Antartide. Una serie di speroni rocciosi sporgono dal fianco occidentale della dorsale. (it)

Una serie di speroni rocciosi sporgono dal fianco occidentale della dorsale. La denominazione è stata assegnata dal gruppo di esplorazione del Ghiacciaio Shackleton della Texas Tech University (1964-65) che lo aveva visitato, perché le sporgenze degli speroni rocciosi ricordano le lunghe corna dei longhorn del Texas, una razza bovina specifica del Texas e caratterizzata da corna estremamente lunghe.
