The Ridge Peak (English for mountain ridge top ) is a 510 m high and pyramid-shaped mountain peak on the Trinity Peninsula in the north of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 4 km southwest of Trepassey Bay between Cairn Hill and Lizard Hill from a distinctive and east-extending mountain ridge on the Tabarin Peninsula .
He was probably discovered by participants in the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1903) led by Otto Nordenskjöld . Scientists from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out an initial mapping and descriptive naming in 1946.
