Campbell Ridges

The Campbell Ridges (70°23′S 67°35′W) are an irregular complex of ridges between Creswick Gap and Mount Courtauld in Palmer Land. Two north-south ridges are linked by an east-west ridge, on which stand the highest peaks. They were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Commander Bruce H. Campbell, U.S. Navy, Commander of LC-130 aircraft in support of United States Antarctic Research Program field parties on the Lassiter Coast and elsewhere, 1969–70 and 1970–71.
