Grimes Ridge (74°38′S 110°30′W) is a high, mostly ice-covered ridge at the north side of Holt Glacier on Bear Peninsula, Walgreen Coast, in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from air photos obtained by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in January 1947, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Captain E.W. Grimes, a member of the U.S. Army Aviation Detachment that provided Antarctic support during U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze 1966.
