Zebra Ridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zebra Ridge (70°2′S, 69°14′W) is a prominent rock ridge, 2 miles (3.2 km) long, situated 3 miles (4.8 km) south of the mouth of Tumble Glacier where it rises 760 m above the coastal ice piedmont of east Alexander Island. First seen from a distance by Lincoln Ellsworth, who photographed the Douglas Range from the air on November 23, 1935. First surveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and so named because of the striped appearance of the rock strata.
