Breakwind Ridge (54°9′S 36°50′W / 54.150°S 36.833°W) is a prominent rocky ridge which is 2 nautical miles (4 km) long in a north–south direction and rises to 860 metres (2,820 ft), close southwest of the head of Fortuna Bay on the north coast of South Georgia. The name "Breakwind Range" was likely applied by Discovery Investigations personnel who mapped Fortuna Bay in 1929–30. Following a resurvey by the South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, the descriptive term was altered to "ridge", which is more suitable for this relatively small feature. The name suggests a beneficial function of this ridge in protecting anchorages at Fortuna Bay from violent southwest and westerly winds.

dbo:abstract
  • Breakwind Ridge (englisch für Windbrechergrat) ist ein 3 km langer und bis zu 860 m hoher Gebirgskamm mit nordsüdlicher Ausrichtung an der Nordküste Südgeorgiens. Er ragt südwestlich des Kopfendes der Fortuna Bay auf. Den Namen Breakwind Range erhielt der Gebirgskamm vermutlich durch Wissenschaftler der britischen Discovery Investigations, welche die Fortuna Bay zwischen 1929 und 1930 kartierten. Nach Vermessungsarbeiten zwischen 1951 und 1952 durch den South Georgia Survey wurde die Benennung angepasst, um der eigentlichen Natur der Formation besser gerecht zu werden. Namensgebend ist der Umstand, dass dieser Gebirgskamm heftige Winde aus Südwesten und Westen abhält. (de)
