The Mendeleev Ridge (or Mendeleev Rise,

SCUFN) in April 1987.[1]

The Mendeleev Ridge is instrumental in the

Eurasian continent. In 2002 the UN Commission neither rejected nor accepted the Russian proposal, recommending additional research.[3]

The origin of the ridge is still contested due to limited data, and it is unclear whether it is an oceanic or continental feature and whether its origin is associated with the Alpha Ridge.[2]
