Berntsen Ridge ({{Coord|54|9|S|36|43|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a ridge on the north coast of South Georgia, running west from Tonsberg Point and rising to about {{convert|580|m}} at the west end. The ridge partly occupies the peninsula between Stromness Harbor and Husvik Harbor. It was named in 1991 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Captain Søren Berntsen, a Norwegian whaler who established Husvik whaling station for Tonsberg Hvalfangeri and became its first manager in 1910; later Master of SS Orwell, a whaling factory ship.
