Stavertsi Ridge

Stavertsi Ridge (Bulgarian: Ставерски хребет, ‘Staverski Hrebet’ \'sta-ver-ski 'hre-bet) is the mostly ice-covered ridge rising to 1150 m (Mount Cabeza) on Albena Peninsula, Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. The feature extends 11 km in east-west direction and 4.7 km in north-south direction, and is connected to Stribog Mountains to the west by Viamata Saddle. It surmounts Paré Glacier to the northwest, and has its north and south slopes drained by Chumerna Glacier and Grigorov Glacier respectively.
