Pardo Ridge is the second highest part of Elephant Island, South Shetland Islands, reaching an altitude of 853 meters.[1] It extends from The White Company in the west to Cape Valentine in the east.[2] It was mapped by the UK Joint Services Expedition, 1970-71, and named by the UK-APC after Captain Luis Pardo, commander of the Chilean tug Yelcho which rescued shipwrecked members of Shackleton's Endurance from Elephant Island's Wild Point in August 1916.[2][3]
