Black Ridge (74°24′S 163°36′E / 74.400°S 163.600°E / -74.400; 163.600) is a prominent rock ridge in the Deep Freeze Range of Victoria Land, 7 nautical miles (13 km) long and rising to 1,500 metres (5,000 ft), forming a divide between Priestley Glacier and Corner Glacier. It was first explored by the Northern Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, and so named by them because of its appearance.[1]
