Salyer Ledge
Salyer Ledge is a bold, flat-topped ridge at the western end of The Fortress, the series of ridges and cirques that comprise the western half of the Cruzen Range of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Victoria Land. Named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2005 after Lieutenant Commander Herbert Salyer, U.S. Navy, co-pilot and navigator, on the Operation Highjump photographic flight of February 20, 1947, during which this ledge and Cruzen Range were observed for the first time and recorded.
