Leah Ridge (70°13′S 65°0′E / 70.217°S 65.000°E / -70.217; 65.000) is a rock ridge located 1 nautical mile (2 km) northwest of Dawson Nunatak and 5 nautical miles (9 km) southeast of Mount Béchervaise in the Athos Range, Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. The feature was intersected by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions survey party in November 1966 and climbed by the party in December 1966. It was so named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia because "Leah" was the code word used at Mawson Station to identify the survey party.[1]
