Conglomerate Ridge

Conglomerate Ridge (79°45′S 84°6′W / 79.750°S 84.100°W / -79.750; -84.100Coordinates: 79°45′S 84°6′W / 79.750°S 84.100°W / -79.750; -84.100) is a ridge, 1 nautical mile (2 km) long, located 4 nautical miles (7 km) east-southeast of Mount Bursik in the Soholt Peaks, Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains. The ridge trends northwest–southeast and rises to about 1,650 metres (5,400 ft). It was so named from the conglomerate composition of the ridge by Gerald F. Webers, leader of the United States Antarctic Research Program Ellsworth Mountains Expedition, 1979–80.[1]
