Heiser Ridge is a 8 km long and narrow mountain ridge in the West Antarctic Queen Elizabeth Land . In the Neptune Range of the Pensacola Mountains , it looms halfway between the West Prongs and the Hudson Ridge .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1956 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1965 after the topography engineer James R. Heiser, who lived in the Neptune Range between 1963 and 1964 was active.
