Mayr Ridge

Mayr Ridge (72°11′S 2°22′E / 72.183°S 2.367°E / -72.183; 2.367) is a mountainous ridge including Nupskammen Ridge and Von Essen Mountain, forming the southwest extremity of the Gjelsvik Mountains in Queen Maud Land. The name "Mayr-Kette" was applied in the general area by the German Antarctic Expedition under Ritscher, 1938–39, for Rudolf Mayr, pilot of the flying boat Passat used by the expedition. The correlation of the name with this feature may be arbitrary but is recommended for the sake of international uniformity and historical continuity.
