Blade Ridge (63°25′S 57°5′W / 63.417°S 57.083°W / -63.417; -57.083) is a sharp rock ridge marked by three peaks, the highest at 575 metres (1,886 ft), forming the northwest wall of Depot Glacier near the head of Hope Bay, in the northeast part of Trinity Peninsula. It was discovered by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld. The descriptive name was given by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey following their survey of the area in 1945.
