Telefon Ridge
(Deception Island)
British Antarctic Territory
Location: 62° 55' 54" S 60° 43' 6" W
running NE-SW and rising to 265m, W of Telefon Bay (q.v.), Deception Island. The name Cerro Noroeste [=north-west hill] probably refers to this feature, and the names Monte Achala (q.v.) and Monte de Bahía Teléfono (q.v.) were applied respectively to the NE and SW ends of the ridge. Following survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1953-54, the feature was named Telefon Ridge in association with the bay.
