Slagle Ridge

Slagle Ridge (-71.91667°N, 169.83333°W) is a high and massive snow-covered ridge between Slone Glacier and Burnette Glacier in the Admiralty Mountains, Victoria Land, Antarctica.

Exploration and name
Slagle Ridge was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960–63. It was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Captain Thomas D. Slagle, U.S. Navy, Chief Medical Officer at Little America V in 1958.

Location
The Slagle Ridge extends northwest-southeast between the Slone Glacier and Burnette Glacier, both tributaries of the Moubray Glacier, which flows down the west side of the Adare Peninsula. The Murray Glacier originates to the north of the ridge. It is east of Mount Sabine, Mount Von Braun and Mount Whewell, and southwest of Mount Robinson and Mount Ruegg.
