Exploration and naming
Nash Ridge was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1955–63. It was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Harold A. Nash, biologist at McMurdo Station in the 1965-66 and 1966–67 seasons.
Location
Nash Ridge trends in a northwest-southeast direction. The Priestly Glacier flows past the northeast side of the ridge, and the O'Kane Glacier flows down the southwest side. They join at the southern tip of the ridge. Features of the ridge, from north to south, include Mount Meister, Mount Borgstrom and Lowry Bluff. Nearby features include Eskimo Point, to the west, and Mount New Zealand and Timber Peak to the northwest.
