Ridley Beach
Ridley Beach (71°18′S 170°13′E / 71.300°S 170.217°E) is a cuspate beach feature forming a triangle about 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) long on each side, lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) south of Cape Adare, on the west side of Adare Peninsula in northern Victoria Land. This was the camp site of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900, under C.E. Borchgrevink. He gave the camp his mother's maiden name. The Northern Party, led by Campbell, of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, disembarked here in 1911, and they gave the name to the entire beach. The beach is the site of an Adelie penguin rookery.
