It was photographed from the air by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39). The ridge was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Kvitkjølen (the white keel).[1]
