Gargoyle Ridge
Gargoyle Ridge () is a high rock ridge forming the south end of the Cobham Range in the Churchill Mountains of Antarctica. It was so named by the Holyoake, Cobham, and Queen Elizabeth Ranges party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1964–65) because of the curiously wind-carved rock buttresses on top of the ridge.
Cobham Range
The Cobham Range trends in a northwest–southeast direction for about , standing west of Prince Philip Glacier in the southern part of the Churchill Mountains. It was mapped by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1961–62, and named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee for a former Governor-General of New Zealand, Lord Cobham.
