West Aisle Ridge (meaning west ridge ) is a north-south running mountain ridge in East Antarctica Victoria Land . It rises immediately west of The Stage basin and 1.5 km west of the Central Aisle Ridge on the border between the lower section of the Renegar Glacier and the Koettlitz Glacier on the Scott Coast .
The New Zealand Geographic Board named it in 1994 in connection with the neighboring mountain ridges Central and East Aisle Ridge after their geographical location to the nearby Bergessel The Stage. A team from the New Zealand Geological Survey had already surveyed the entire area between 1977 and 1978.
