Narrative

A flat-topped ridge 1 mi (1.6km) long and 0.3 mi (0.5km) wide between Shaw Trough and Healy Trough in the Labyrinth of Wright Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys. The ledge rises to 920 m. The name is descriptive and was recommended by US-ACAN (2004) because a central N-S hanging valley nearly divides the ledge in two.
