Bobo Ridge is a 3 km long, rocky and isolated mountain ridge in Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica . It extends in a westerly direction along the northern flank of the Albanus Glacier and marks the southwestern extension of the Tapley Mountains .
A first rough mapping was done by participants in the second Antarctic expedition (1933-1935) of the US polar explorer Richard Evelyn Byrd . The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the ridge in 1967 after Robert Bobo, a meteorologist at McMurdo Station in the Antarctic winter of 1963.
