Wise Ridge (77°16′10″S 161°59′34″E) is a sharp-crested ridge, 4 nautical miles (7.4 km) long, extending southwest to northeast between Dahe Glacier and Willis Glacier in the Saint Johns Range of Victoria Land. Peaks on the ridge rise 1200 to 1525 m above sea level. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2005 after Sherwood W. Wise, Jr., Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility, Florida State University, who had a significant part in the planning, coring, analyzing, and storage of Southern Ocean geological specimens, 1973-2004.
