Farrington Ridge

Farrington Ridge (73°36′S 94°18′W) is an isolated linear ridge, 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) long, with continuous rock exposure along the crest, located 2 nautical miles (4 km) north-northwest of the Forbidden Rocks in the Jones Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the University of Minnesota – Jones Mountains Party, 1960–61, who named it for Lieutenant Robert L. Farrington, U.S. Navy, co-pilot of the LC-47 Dakota aircraft that made the first landing in the Jones Mountains, December 9, 1960.[1]
