Turnabout Ridge (English for turning ridge ) is a high and 16 km long mountain ridge in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Elizabeth Range of the Transantarctic Mountains , it looms between the Linehan and Lowery glaciers .
A team from Ohio State University exploring the Queen Alexandra chain between 1966 and 1967 named it so because it was the furthest point from base camp that the team had reached.
