DeZafra Ridge, in Antarctica (79°17′S 157°27′E / 79.283°S 157.45°E), is a narrow but prominent rock ridge, 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, which extends north from the northeast cliffs of Longhurst Plateau, Cook Mountains. The ridge is 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) west of Fault Bluff and rises 350 m above the ice surface north of the plateau. Named after Robert L. deZafra, Professor of Physics, State University of New York, Stony Brook, whose research at the South Pole and McMurdo Sound provided breakthrough contributions to understanding the formation of the Antarctic ozone hole.
