Chintulov Ridge

Location of Aristotle Mountains on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Chintulov Ridge (Bulgarian: Чинтулов хребет, ‘Chintulov Hrebet’ \'chin-tu-lov 'hre-bet\) is the rocky ridge extending 6.9 km in north-northwest to south-southeast direction and 2.6 km wide, rising to 850 m in Aristotle Mountains on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land. It is situated in the southeast foothills of Mount Sara Teodora, surmounting Ambergris Glacier to the west, and Flask Glacier and one of its tributaries to the south and east respectively. The feature is named after the Bulgarian poet Dobri Chintulov (1822-1886), in connection with the settlement Chintulovo in Southeastern Bulgaria.
