Dismal Ridge

Dismal Ridge (78°17′S 162°48′E / 78.283°S 162.8°E / -78.283; 162.8) is a forked ridge leading north and east from the Mount Kempe-Mount Huggins saddle. It is bounded on the north and west by the Radian and Glimpse Glaciers, and on the south by Kempe Glacier. The two forks enclose the Glee Glacier and descend to Roaring Valley. The ridge was so named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE), 1960–61, because of the persistently dismal weather conditions encountered while they were mapping in January 1961, and also because of difficulties encountered in establishing a high food camp on this ridge by helicopter, again owing to the weather.
