From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adams Ridge (71°0′S, 162°23′E) is a sharp-crested rock ridge, 4 miles (6 km) long and rising to 800 m, forming a part of the west margin of Bowers Mountains just south of where Sheehan Glacier enters Rennick Glacier. Named by New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) in 1983 after Chris Adams, New Zealand geologist who worked in northern Victoria Land, 1981-82.
