Coral Ridge

Coral Ridge (77°35′S 163°25′E / 77.583°S 163.417°E / -77.583; 163.417) is a ridge trending north-south, transverse to the axis of Taylor Valley, Victoria Land, forming a divide 100 m above sea level between Lake Fryxell and Explorers Cove, McMurdo Sound. A large number of solitary fossil corals have been found here by New Zealand Antarctic Research Program (NZARP)-USARP teams in the course of joint geological studies of the area. The name was suggested by Donald P. Elston, United States Geological Survey (USGS), a research team member who worked at the ridge in the 1979-80 and 1980-81 seasons.
