Turnstile Ridge (-79.8333°N 190°W) is a ridge about long, lying north of Westhaven Nunatak at the northwest extremity of the Britannia Range.
Turnstile Ridge was so named by the Darwin Glacier Party (1957) of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) because snow passages resembling turnstiles occur throughout its length.
Turnstile Ridge is south of the Darwin Névé and southwest of the Meteorite Hills of the Darwin Mountains.It is west of the head of the Hatherton Glacier, which forms the boundary between the Darwin Mountains and the Britannia Range,The Westhaven Nunatak is southwest of Turnstile Ridge.Haven Mountain and the Three Nunataks lie further to the south.A largely ice-free line of ridges and valleys extends to the southeast of Turnstile Ridge along the south side of the Hatherton Glacier.This includes Abus Valley, Banna Peak, Banna Ridge, Bellum Valley, Bibra Valley and Danum Platform.Many of the nearby features were named in association with Britannia by a University of Waikato (New Zealand) geological party, 1978-79, led by M.J. Selby.
Features to the south and southeast include:
-79.85°N 168°W. A prominent nunatak, high, standing south of Turnstile Ridge in the northwest part of Britannia Range. It is the westernmost rock outcrop in this part of the range. The Darwin Glacier Party of the CTAE set up a survey station on its summit in December 1957.The name was suggested by Squadron-Leader J.R. Claydon, RNZAF, who first saw the feature from the air.
-80.0333°N 167°W. A prominent mountain, high, with a level razor-back snow ridge at its highest (eastern) part, standing northeast of Three Nunataks. So named by the Darwin Glacier Party of the CTAE (1956-58), who sheltered for five days in the largely snow-free area below the north side of the summit ridge.
-80.0667°N 204°W. Three nunataks, largely ice covered, lying southwest of Haven Mountain at the northwest edge of the Britannia Range. Named by the Darwin Glacier Party of the CTAE, 1956-58.
-79.8833°N 160°W. An ice-free valley southeast of Turnstile Ridge. Abus is a historical place name formerly used in Roman Britain.
-79.9167°N 158°W. A peak high that surmounts the south end of Banna Ridge. Banna is a historical placename formerly used in Roman Britain.
-79.9°N 161°W. A rock ridge that rises over high and extends from Banna Peak northeast toward the head of Hatherton Glacier. The ridge forms the southeast wall of Abus Valley. Named in association with Banna Peak by a University of Waikato geological party, 1978-79.
-79.9°N 170°W. A small valley east of Banna Ridge. The valley entrance is adjacent to the head of Hatherton Glacier. Bellum is a historical placename formerly used in Roman Britain.
-79.95°N 185°W. Ice-free valley bounded eastward by Danum Platform, lying northeast of Haven Mountain. Bibra is a historical place name formerly used in Roman Britain.
-79.9833°N 182°W. A mesa-like rock eminence northeast of Haven Mountain, forming the divide between Bibra Valley and Dubris Valley. Danum is a historical name used in Roman Britain for present-day Doncaster.
-80°N 183°W. A narrow ice-free valley just east of Danum Platform. Dubris is a historical name used in Roman Britain for a stream at Dover.
-80.0167°N 187°W. Narrow ice-free valley lying next west of Ituna Valley and east-northeast of Haven Mountain. Isca is a historical name used in Roman Britain for the River Exe.
-80°N 200°W. Narrow ice-free valley between Isca Valley and Lemanis Valley. The valley opens northward to Hatherton Glacier, west-northwest of Derrick Peak. Ituna is a historical name used in Roman Britain for the River Eden.
-80.05°N 195°W. A small plateau rising to 1800– high between the heads of Isca Valley and Lemanis Valley, located east of Haven Mountain. Venta is a historical name used in Roman Britain for present-day Winchester.
-80.0167°N 205°W. A partly ice-free valley intruded at the entrance by a lobe of ice from Hatherton Glacier, lying between Ituna Valley and Lindum Valley and west-northwest of Derrick Peak.Lemanis is an old Roman place name for Lymn in England.
