Clapp Ridge

Clapp Ridge (72°54′S 167°54′E / 72.9°S 167.9°E / -72.9; 167.9) is a narrow, steep-sided ridge about 9 miles (14 km) long, forming the north wall of Hand Glacier in the Victory Mountains, Victoria Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for James L.
