Prism Ridge

Prism Ridge (coord|73|33|S|94|14|W|) is a small ridge with bare rock outcroppings located just north of Haskell Glacier and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) south-southwest of Bonnabeau Dome, in the Jones Mountains. Mapped and named by the University of Minnesota-Jones Mountains Party, 1960-61. They found a large block of ice in the shape of a square prism standing as an isolated feature at the south end of this ridge.
