Stevrek Ridge

Location of Aristotle Mountains on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Stevrek Ridge (Bulgarian: хребет Стеврек, ‘Hrebet Stevrek’ \'hre-bet 'stev-rek\) is the narrow rocky ridge extending 29.9 km from the southwest part of Arkovna Ridge to the west to Radovene Point to the east, 4.1 km wide, and rising to 1300 m (Rilets Peak) in northern Aristotle Mountains on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land. It surmounts Mapple Glacier to the north, Sexaginta Prista Bay and Domlyan Bay to the east, and Melville Glacier to the south. The feature is named after the settlement of Stevrek in Northeastern Bulgaria.
