The Ogden Heights are flattened and mostly icy hills in East Antarctic Victoria Land . They form part of the south face of the upper section of the Priestley Glacier over a length of 11 km southeast of Tantalus Peak .
The southern group of a campaign carried out from 1962 to 1963 as part of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition landed not far from these heights. It is named after Lieutenant John H. Ogden of the United States Navy , pilot on the flights for air support for this team.
