Comb Ridge (English for crest ridge ) is a mountain ridge up to 105 m high in the north of the West Antarctic James Ross Island . It forms the eastern and at the same time the largest part of a hill on the foothills of the peninsula The Naze .
It was probably discovered in 1902 during the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1904) under the direction of Otto Nordenskjöld . The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped it in 1946 and gave it its descriptive name.
