Description
(see definition):
A flat-topped ridge 1 mi long and 0.3 mi wide between Shaw Trough and Healy Trough in the Labyrinth of Wright Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys. The ledge rises to 920 m and is 0.3 mi NW of Hoffman Ledge. The name is descriptive and was recommended by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (2004) because a central N-S hanging valley nearly divides the ledge in half.
