Peshev Ridge

Peshev Ridge (Peshev Rid \'pe-shev 'rid\) is a crescent-shaped ridge in central Tangra Mountains extending 2 km (1.2 mi) along the northeast coast of Brunow Bay and southeast of Macy Glacier, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Its east extremity is formed by the summit St. Naum Peak (620 m or 2,034 ft), separated from Balchik Ridge to the east by Starosel Gate. The ridge was named in honour of Dimitar Peshev (1894–1973), who led the nationwide campaign that kept Bulgaria’s Jews safe during the Holocaust.

The central peak, named Peshev Peak in association, is located at 62°41′57.8″S 60°07′31″W / 62.699389°S 60.12528°W / -62.699389; -60.12528Coordinates: 62°41′57.8″S 60°07′31″W / 62.699389°S 60.12528°W / -62.699389; -60.12528, which is 4.91 km (3.1 mi) southwest of Great Needle Peak (Falsa Aguja), 4.1 km (2.5 mi) south of Lyaskovets Peak, 4.28 km (2.66 mi) east by south of Simeon Peak and 3.68 km (2.29 mi) northeast of Needle Peak (Bulgarian topographic survey Tangra 2004/05, and mapping in 2005 and 2009).
