  Eastwind Ridge (76°36′S 160°47′E﻿ / ﻿76.600°S 160.783°E﻿ / -76.600; 160.783) is a broad, partially ice-covered ridge about 10 nautical miles (20 km) long between Chattahoochee Glacier and Towle Glacier in the Convoy Range of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and Navy air photos, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1964 for the USCGC Eastwind, an icebreaker in several American convoys into McMurdo Sound since the 1958–59 season.
