Jensen Ridge (60°41′S 45°38′W / 60.683°S 45.633°W / -60.683; -45.633) is a curving ridge running eastward from Foca Point toward Jane Col on Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was named in 1991 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Captain Gullik Jensen, of the whaling ship Strombus from Tønsberg, Norway, who made the last whaling expedition to Signy Island in 1935–36.[1][2]
