Berntsen Ridge

Berntsen Ridge (-54.15°N, -36.71667°W) is a ridge on the north coast of South Georgia, running west from Tonsberg Point and rising to about 580 m at the west end. The ridge partly occupies the peninsula between Stromness Harbor and Husvik Harbor. It was named in 1991 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Captain Søren Berntsen, a Norwegian whaler who established Husvik whaling station for Tonsberg Hvalfangeri and became its first manager in 1910; later Master of SS Orwell, a whaling factory ship.
