Honeycomb Ridge (English for honeycomb comb ) is a mountain ridge in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It extends on the western flank of Moubray Bay from the mouth of the Ironside Glacier in a northerly direction.
Participants in the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1957-1958) named it after the honeycomb-shaped openings and caverns in the granite rock that characterize the ridge.
