Friesland Ridge (Hrebet Frisland \'hre-bet 'fris-land\) is a ridge on Livingston Island in the South Shetlands, part of the Tangra Mountains. The summit, Mount Friesland, which rises to , is the northwesternmost of the ridge's six main peaks. Its elevation was estimated at by a 1995/96 Bulgarian survey; the present figure was produced by a 2003 Australian GPS survey, and closely matched (as ) by the Bulgarian survey Tangra 2004/05.
The local ice relief is subject to changes, causing variations in the mountain peaksâ elevation. According to a Bulgarian GPS survey by D. Boyanov and N. Petkov the elevation of Mt. Friesland was in December 2016, making the peak lower than the adjacent St. Boris Peak (the latter's northernmost ice formation âÂÂThe Synagogueâ rising to ) at that time.
First ascent of the summit Mount Friesland by the Catalans Francesc SÃÂ bat and Jorge Enrique from Juan Carlos I Base on 30 December 1991.
The feature takes its name from Mount Friesland.
The midpoint of the ridge is located at (UK Directorate of Overseas Surveys mapping in 1968, partial mapping by the Spanish Servicio Geográfico del Ejército in 1991, and Bulgarian mapping in 2005 from topographic surveys in 1995/96 and 2004/05).
