Softbed Ridges

	Softbed Ridges Softbed Ridges () is a series of parallel rock ridges interspaced by small snow-covered valleys, the whole trending north–south for about 15 nautical miles (28 km) and forming a portion of the divide between Lowery and Robb Glaciers. The name was applied in about 1960 by New Zealand New Zealand ( mi, Aotearoa ) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.

	Robb Glacier Robb Glacier () is a glacier about 40 nautical miles (70 km) long, flowing from Clarkson Peak north along the east side of Softbed Ridges to the Ross Ice Shelf at Cape Goldie. Named by the expedition after Murray Robb, leader of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1959–60), who traversed this glacier to reach Lowery Glacier.

It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island () and the South Island ()—and over 700 List of islands of New Zealand, smaller islands. It is the List of island countries, sixth-largest island country by area, covering . New Zealand is about east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and south of the islands of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. The country's varied topography and sharp mountain peaks, including the Southern Alps, owe much to tectonic uplift and volcanic eruptions.

picture info	Ridges Of The Ross Dependency A ridge or a mountain ridge is a geographical feature consisting of a chain of mountains or hills that form a continuous elevated crest for an extended distance. The sides of the ridge slope away from the narrow top on either side. The lines along the crest formed by the highest points, with the terrain dropping down on either side, are called the ridgelines. Ridges are usually termed hills or mountains as well, depending on size. Smaller ridges, especially those leaving a larger ridge, are often referred to as spurs. Types There are several main types of ridges: ;Dendritic ridge: In typical dissected plateau terrain, the stream drainage valleys will leave intervening ridges. These are by far the most common ridges. These ridges usually represent slightly more erosion resistant rock, but not always – they often remain because there were more joints where the valleys formed or other chance occurrences. This type of ridge is generally somewhat random in orientation, often ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
