Sunny Ridge (English for sunny ridge ) is a 1.5 km long, partly ice-free and well over 2700 m high mountain ridge in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Maud Mountains , it extends from Mount Weaver in a westerly direction. It rises near the western flank of the Scott Glacier at its head end.
A team from Ohio State University led by geologist George Alexander Doumani (* 1929) carried out surveys in 1962. Doumani named him after the weather conditions she encountered while climbing the ridge.
