Summit Ridge (English for Gipfelgrat is) a 380 m high and 800 m long ridge in the north of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Trinity Peninsula, it rises 3 km south of the head end of Hope Bay . The Summit Pass separates it from the north-west towering Passes Peak .
Participants in the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1903) led by Otto Nordenskjöld were the first to explore this area. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped this ridge in 1945. They also named it after the name of the neighboring Summit Pass.
