Clapp Ridge (72°54′S 167°54′E / 72.900°S 167.900°E / -72.900; 167.900) is a narrow, steep-sided ridge about 9 nautical miles (17 km) long, forming the north wall of Hand Glacier in the Victory Mountains, Victoria Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for James L. Clapp, a member of the United States Antarctic Research Program glaciological party to Roosevelt Island, 1967–68.^[1]
