Narrative

A narrow rock ridge about 6 km south-west of Scullin Monolith in Mac.Robertson Land. The feature was mapped by BANZARE under Sir Douglas Mawson in 1931. It was also mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37). The position of the feature was accurately fixed by John Manning, surveyor at Mawson in 1967 during a tellurometer controlled mapping survey. Mawson named the feature after a close friend of Sir MacPherson Robertson who has been instrumental in securing Mac.Robertson's contribution to Banzare funds.
