Colosseum Ridge (79°47′S 156°20′E / 79.783°S 156.333°E / -79.783; 156.333) is a ridge between Haskell Ridge and Richardson Hill in the Darwin Mountains. The ridge contains pyramidal peaks and five large cirques, the appearance of the latter bearing a resemblance to the Colosseum in Rome. It was mapped and named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (1962–63).
