Darling Ridge

Darling Ridge is a snow-covered, flat-topped ridge, 2,350 metres (7,700 ft) high, with precipitous rock sides. The ridge is 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) long and forms a notable landmark at the northwest corner of Buckeye Table in the Ohio Range of the Horlick Mountains. It was surveyed by the United States Antarctic Research Program Horlick Mountains Traverse party in December 1958, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Fredric L. Darling, glaciological assistant with the party.[1]
