A pressure ridge in the context of ice refers to a prominent, often jagged, formation that occurs in sea ice as a result of competing forces, usually wind and ocean currents. These forces can cause the ice to push against itself, leading to the buckling and stacking of ice layers. Pressure ridges can vary in height and width and are often found in polar regions where sea ice is prevalent.
