Menster Ledge (80°18′S 156°23′E / 80.3°S 156.383°E) is a relatively level benchlike feature which rises to 1800 m 6 nautical miles (11 km) southwest of Mount Olympus in Hughes Basin, Britannia Range. The feature is 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) wide and is smoothly ice covered in the central and north portions; an abrupt ice and rock cliff forms the south end of the ledge. Named after Chaplain William J. Menster (Commander, USN) of the flagship Mount Olympus in Operation Deep Freeze, 1946-47. The location of the ledge is in proximity to Byrd Glacier, Mount Olympus, and other features that memorialize leaders and ships of Operation High Jump.
