Leda Ridge is a mountain ridge in the east of the West Antarctic Alexander I Island . It rises with a northeast-southwest orientation on the west side of Ganymede Heights east of the Jupiter Glacier .
The British geographer Derek Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped it in 1960 using aerial photographs taken by the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948). The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1985 after Jupiter's moon Leda .
