Kableshkov Ridge

Location of Nordenskjöld Coast.

Kableshkov Ridge (Bulgarian: Каблешков рид, ‘Kableshkov Rid’ \'ka-blesh-kov 'rid\) is the rocky ridge extending 4.5 km in east-southeast direction, 1.5 km wide and rising to 550 m on Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It is bounded by Zaychar Glacier to the north and Odrin Bay to the southeast, and linked to Detroit Plateau to the west.

The ridge is named after Todor Kableshkov (1851–1876), a leader of the 1876 April Uprising for Bulgarian independence.
