Goldenberg Ridge is a 1.3 km long mountain ridge on the Budd coast of the East Antarctic Wilkesland . It rises in a northwest-southeast orientation on the east side of the Browning Peninsula or in front of the southern end of the archipelago of the Windmill Islands .
Aerial photographs of the US operation Highjump (1946–1947) and Operation Windmill (1947–1948) were used to map it. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1963 after the meteorologist Burton D. Goldenberg, who worked at Wilkes Station in 1962 .
