Yochelson Ridge (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is a rugged, partly snow-covered ridge, about 4 miles (6 km) long, extending north-northwest from Eley Peak, Soholt Peaks, in the Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains. It was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs from 1961-66. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Ellis L. Yochelson, a USGS geologist at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC and a paleontologist with the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) Ellsworth Mountains Expedition of 1979-80.
