Collins Ridge is a rugged and icy ridge in Antarctica's Ross Dependency . It extends from Mount Behling in a northerly direction to the Bowman Glacier , where it turns in a northeastern direction to the confluence of the Bowman and Amundsen Glaciers .
Surveys and aerial photographs by the American Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928–1930) were used for initial mapping. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the ridge in 1967 after Henry C. Collins, deputy head of the United States Geological Survey's Department of Special Maps .
