The Campbell Ridges (70°23′S 67°35′W / 70.383°S 67.583°WCoordinates: 70°23′S 67°35′W / 70.383°S 67.583°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.
