Zenker Ridge (54°18′S 36°30′W) is a low moraine ridge extending northeast from Osmic Hill to Discovery Point in Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. This moraine was charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Nordenskjöld. Named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) following their sketch survey in 1951. The name is one of a group in the vicinity of Discovery Point derived from the chemical fixatives used there in biological work by the FIDS.
