# Basarbovo Ridge

Basarbovo Ridge (Bulgarian: Басарбовски рид, ‘Basarbovski Rid’ \ba-'sar-bov-ski 'rid\) is the ice-covered ridge rising to 1421 m on the east side of the Stribog Mountains on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It extends 10.4 km from Taran Plateau to the northwest to Bov Point to the southeast. It has steep and partly ice-free southwest slopes, and surmounts Malpighi Glacier to the southwest and Svetovrachene Glacier to the northeast.

The ridge is named after the settlement of Basarbovo in Northeastern Bulgaria.
