Marsh Ridge

Marsh Ridge (85°46′S 146°10′W) is a rocky ridge in Antarctica, 3 nautical miles (6 km) long. It stands midway along the south side of Leverett Glacier and 11 nautical miles (20 km) east-northeast of Mount Gould. The ridge was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Robert D. Marsh, a cook with the Byrd Station winter party, 1957.[1]
