Keyser Ridge

Keyser Ridge (73°57′S 63°28′E / 73.950°S 63.467°E / -73.950; 63.467Coordinates: 73°57′S 63°28′E / 73.950°S 63.467°E / -73.950; 63.467) is a snow-covered ridge, trending in a northeast–southwest direction for 11 nautical miles (20 km), standing 26 nautical miles (48 km) south-southeast of Mount Bayliss in the Prince Charles Mountains of Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) air photos of 1957 and 1960, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for D.O. Keyser, a radio officer at Mawson Station, and a member of the 1961 ANARE field party that attempted to reach this ridge but was stopped by impassable crevasses.[1]
