Maud Rise is an underwater feature located in the Southern Ocean, off the coast of Antarctica. It is an underwater ridge that rises from the ocean floor and is situated to the northeast of the Antarctic Peninsula. This feature is named after the Maud Expedition, which was led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen in the early 20th century. Maud Rise is significant in oceanographic research as it influences local ocean currents and has implications for the surrounding marine ecosystem.
