Molerov Spur

Molerov Spur (Bulgarian: Молеров рид, ‘Molerov Rid’ \'mo-le-rov 'rid) is the ridge extending 4.5 km in the south foothills of Herbert Plateau on Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land. It descends southwards into Drygalski Glacier, with ice-covered upper part rising to 1600 m and rocky lower part rising to 1400 m. The feature is named after the Bulgarian artist Dimitar Molerov (Dimitar Vishanov, 1780-1853).
