Aeolus Ridge

Aeolus Ridge is a ridge trending north-east to south-west and rising to about 4,300 feet lying in the upper Uranus Glacier at the southern end of Planet Heights in the east of Alexander Island, the massive island that lies all along Palmer Land's west coast, in the British Antarctic Territory.

The ridge was named in 1987 by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Aeolus, the Greek god of wind, in reference to prevailing weather encountered here by British Antarctic Survey parties.
