Beaufoy Ridge


Beaufoy Ridge is a conspicuous black ridge, rising to at its northwest end, standing at the west side of Sunshine Glacier and close north of Iceberg Bay on the south coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It was named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, following their survey in 1948–49, after the cutter Beaufoy which, on December 12, 1821, under Michael McLeod, sailed to a position at least west of the South Orkney Islands, where a chart annotation indicates that land was sighted, possibly Coronation Island.
