The Parjadinkamm (often also Paryadinamm ) is a mountain ridge near the northwestern tip of South Georgia . It extends from Cape Alexandra to Cape Parjadin .
The name goes back to the German explorer Ludwig Kohl-Larsen during his visit to South Georgia between 1928 and 1929 and is based on the name of the cape of the same name. It is named after the helmsman of the Wostok , one of the two research vessels of the first Russian Antarctic expedition (1819–1821) under the direction of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen .
