Copperstain Ridge

Copperstain Ridge (71°27′S 164°22′E / 71.45°S 164.367°E / -71.45; 164.367) is a ridge about 3 nautical miles (6 km) long which descends north-northeast from Mount Freed, in the Bowers Mountains. The feature was so named by New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1967–68, because of the extensive copper staining found here.
