Icenhower Ridge (80°13′S 158°25′E / 80.217°S 158.417°E / -80.217; 158.417) is a broad, mainly ice-covered ridge that rises to over 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) between Yancey Glacier and Sennet Glacier in the Britannia Range, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in association with Byrd Glacier and Sennet Glacier, after Commander Joseph B. Icenhower, U.S. Navy, captain of USS Sennet (SS-408), a submarine (Central Group of Task Force 68) of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, led by Admiral Richard E. Byrd.[1]
