The Four Ramps (English for four ramps ) are a group of four rock spurs in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Maud Mountains they rise roughly parallel from the ice masses in the northeast section of the Sullivan Ridge on the western flank of the Ramsey Glacier .
Aerial photos were taken during the US operation Highjump (1946–1947). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names gave them their descriptive names in 1962.
