Korten Ridge
Korten Ridge (Bulgarian: Кортенски хребет, ‘Kortenski Hrebet’ \'kor-ten-ski 'hre-bet\) is the ridge extending 18 km in south–north direction and 9 km wide, rising to 1864 m[1] (Mount Bris) on Davis Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It is bounded by Podvis Col linking it to Tsarevets Buttress and Detroit Plateau to the southeast, Temple Glacier to the southwest, Lanchester Bay to the west, Wennersgaard Point and Jordanoff Bay to the north, and Sabine Glacier to the east. The north third of the ridge forms Svilengrad Peninsula.
The ridge is named after the settlement of Korten in Southeastern Bulgaria.
