Vergilov Ridge

Vergilov Ridge (Bulgarian: Вергилов хребет, 'Vergilov Hrebet' ver-'gi-lov 'hre-bet) is a submarine ridge in South Bay, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It extends 3.5 km in a southeast-northwest direction between the Vergilov Rocks and the opposite Pimpirev Beach at a depth of over 50 m, with depths exceeding 100 m on both sides of the ridge. It was formed as a frontal moraine of Perunika Glacier between the 13th and 17th centuries.
