Prism Ridge is a narrow mountain ridge with non-iced rocky outcrops in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Jones Mountains it rises immediately north of the Haskell Glacier and 3 km south-southwest of the Bonnabeau Dome .
The University of Minnesota crew that explored the Jones Mountains from 1960 to 1961 mapped and named him. It is named after a large and isolated block of ice in the shape of a prism at the southern end of the mountain ridge.
