The Campbell Ridges are an irregular amalgamation of up to 1500 m high mountain ridges on the Rymill Coast in the west of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . They loom between the Creswick Gap and Mount Courtauld . Two mountain ridges facing north-south are connected by one facing east-west, on which the highest peaks of this group are located.
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the mountains in 1976 after Lieutenant Commander Bruce H. Campbell of the United States Navy , commander of an LC-130 Hercules to support field research teams on the Lassiter Coast, among others, in the Antarctic summer months from 1969 to 1970 and from 1970 to 1971.
