The Long Ridge (English for Langer Grat ) is a roughly 6 km long and up to 1180 m high mountain ridge on the Orville coast of the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In a north-south orientation it rises on the north flank of the Srite Glacier west of Mount Leek in the Hauberg Mountains .
A team from the United States Geological Survey explored it between 1977 and 1978. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee gave it its descriptive name on January 20, 2007.
