Giggenbach Ridge is a mountain ridge between 1320 m and 2400 m high and 8 km long with a north-south orientation on the Antarctic Ross Island . It rises to the west and northwest of Mount Terror .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 2000 at the suggestion of the New Zealand geologist Philip Raymond Kyle (* 1944) after German volcanologist Werner Giggenbach (1937-1997), who took part in four campaigns to investigate Mount Erebus in the 1970s .
