Wyandot Ridge is a rocky mountain range in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It extends in a northerly direction from the northwestern end of the Convoy Range along the western flank of the Chattahoochee Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped the mountain range using geodetic surveys and aerial photographs from the United States Navy . The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after the USCGC Wyandot , a cargo ship of the US associations used in McMurdo Sound from 1955 .
