Inferno Ridge
Inferno Ridge () is a narrow ridge, long, rising between Schneider Glacier and Rennell Glacier in the Heritage Range, Antarctica. It was so named by the University of Minnesota "Geological Party" to these mountains, 1963–64, because the area is deeply dissected and composed of black rocks. Features Geographical features include: * Larson Valley * Orheim Point * Rennell Glacier * Schneider Glacier Schneider Glacier () is a glacier in the Heritage Range in Antarctica.

Schneider Glacier
Schneider Glacier () is a glacier in the Heritage Range in Antarctica. It is long, draining north between the Dunbar and Inferno Ridge and coalescing with Balish Glacier before entering the Splettstoesser Glacier. It was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–66. It was named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Commander Arthur F. Schneider, Maintenance Officer of U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 during Deep Freeze 1965, and Commanding Officer in 1968.

Heritage Range
The Heritage Range is a major mountain range, long and wide, situated southward of Minnesota Glacier and forming the southern half of the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica. The range is complex, consisting of scattered ridges and peaks of moderate height, escarpments, hills and nunataks, with the various units of relief set off by numerous intervening glaciers. The northern portion of the range was probably first sighted by Lincoln Ellsworth in the course of his trans-Antarctic flight of November 23, 1935. On December 14, 1959, the southern range was seen for the first time in a reconnaissance flight from Byrd Station, made by Edward C. Thiel, J. C. Craddock and E. S. Robinson. The team landed at a glacier on Pipe Peak, in the northwestern part of the range, on December 26.Gerald F.
