Deimos Ridge

Deimos Ridge is a prominent, narrow rocky spur of sandstone and shales, 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of Phobos Ridge and Mars Glacier in the southeast corner of Alexander Island. First seen from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on November 23, 1935, and mapped from photos obtained on that flight by W.L.G. Joerg. First surveyed in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for its association with Mars Glacier, Deimos being the outer of two satellites of Mars.
