Location
The Finger Ridges are in the northwest of the Cook Mountains, to the east of Butcher Ridge, north of Harvey Peak and west of Henry Mesa. The highest points on the main ridge are about 2050 m. The individual ridges are 1 to long and project northward from the higher main ridge. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1959–63, and named descriptively by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names.
