Parlichev Ridge

Location of Aristotle Mountains on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Parlichev Ridge (Bulgarian: Пърличев хребет, ‘Parlichev Hrebet’ \p&r-'li-chev 'hre-bet\) is the narrow rocky ridge extending 33.9 km from the foothills of Madrid Dome to the west to Kalina Point to the east, 3.8 km wide, and rising to 1250 m (Vrelo Peak) in Aristotle Mountains on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land. It surmounts Melville Glacier to the north, Domlyan Bay to the northeast, and Pequod Glacier to the south, and is intersected by a branch of Pequod Glacier flowing northwards to join Melville Glacier. The feature is named after the Bulgarian poet Grigor Parlichev (1830-1893), in connection with the settlement of Parlichevo in Northwestern Bulgaria.
