Jones Ridge (66°36′S 99°25′E / 66.600°S 99.417°E) is a small rock ridge, marked by a sharp peak at its seaward end, protruding above the lower reaches of Denman Glacier near the point where the glacier meets the coast. It was discovered by the Western Base party of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition under Mawson, 1911–14, who applied the name "Cape Jones", believing that the feature marked the western end of the prominent rock cliffs at the east side of Denman Glacier. He named it for Dr. , who served as medical officer at the Western Base and as leader of the party which extended exploration west to Gaussberg. The name Jones Ridge was reassigned on the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names map of 1955, compiled from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in February

  • Jones Ridge är en bergstopp i Antarktis. Den ligger i Östantarktis. Australien gör anspråk på området. Toppen på Jones Ridge är 147 meter över havet. Terrängen runt Jones Ridge är platt åt nordväst, men åt sydost är den kuperad. Den högsta punkten i närheten är 197 meter över havet, 1,0 kilometer söder om Jones Ridge. Trakten är obefolkad. Det finns inga samhällen i närheten. (sv)

  • Jones Ridge ist ein kleiner Gebirgskamm mit einigen spitzen Gipfeln nahe der Küste des ostantarktischen Königin-Marie-Lands. Er ragt aus dem unteren Abschnitt des Denman-Gletschers nahe dessen Mündung in das Shackleton-Schelfeis auf. Teilnehmer der Australasiatischen Antarktisexpedition (1911–1914) unter der Leitung des australischen Polarforschers Douglas Mawson kartierten diese Formation. Sie benannten sie als Kap Jones in der Annahme, es handele sich um das westliche Ende der markanten Felsenkliffs an der Ostflanke des Denman-Gletschers. Die Auswertung von Luftaufnahmen der Operation Highjump (1946–1947) vom Februar 1947 ergab, dass der Strom der Eismassen des Denman-Gletschers die Formation von den Felsenkliffs trennt. Deshalb entschied sich das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names im Jahr 1955 zu einer Umbenennung, die der Natur der Formation entspricht. Namensgeber beider Benennungen ist (1887–1948), Arzt bei Mawsons Expedition. (de)

The name Jones Ridge was reassigned on the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names map of 1955, compiled from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in February 1947, because a substantial portion of the Denman Glacier flowage separates this feature from the rock cliffs to the east.
