Elephant Ridge (71°20′S 68°19′W / 71.333°S 68.317°W) is a sharp curved ridge, orientated generally W-E, and extending for about 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km), with the highest point at the center rising to 6999m. The north slopes are snow and ice free, and the central point is situated about 0.7 nautical miles (1.3 km) south-southeast of Khufu Peak and 0.9 nautical miles (1.7 km) southwest of Giza Peak. Uranus Glacier forms the south boundary of the feature. Elephant Ridge is referred to as "Man Pack Hill" in scientific reports in the early 1960s, and is locally known descriptively as "The Elephant". The summit resembles an elephant's head, with the ridge forming the trunk.
