Turks Head Ridge

Turks Head Ridge (77°38′S 166°49′E) is a mostly ice-covered ridge in the southwest part of Ross Island, extending from Turks Head for a few miles up the slopes of Mount Erebus. Mapped by the British Antarctic Expedition (1910–13) under Scott and so named because of its association with Turks Head.
