Allison Ridge ( Russian Гора Богатырь Gora Bogatyr ) is a partially snow-covered 1567 m high mountain ridge in the Aramis Range of the Prince Charles Mountains in the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It rises 800 m west of Mount Bunt .
It was mapped using aerial photographs taken in 1960 as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions . The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named it after Donald Allison, an electrical engineer at Mawson Station in 1965. Russian scientists identified it as a mountain and gave it its own name. The name is apparently based on a mountain of the same name on the Kuriles .
