Levski Ridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Levski Ridge (Bulagrian: Хребет Левски \'hre-bet 'lev-ski\) is the central ridge of the Tangra Mountains, Livingston Island. Its summit, Great Needle Peak rises to approximately 1,700m .
The ridge extends nearly 8 km between Shipka Saddle to the W and Devin Saddle to the E, and the same distance between Cherepish Ridge to the N and Christoff Cliff to the S. It is bounded by Huron Glacier to the N, Iskar Glacier to the NE, Macy Glacier and Boyana Glacier to the SW, and Srebarna Glacier and Magura Glacier to the SE.
The ridge takes its name from Levski Peak. Remark: The name form ‘Great Needle’ has become established in usage for the ridge’s summit, with ‘great’ considered more appropriate than the adjective ‘false’ in its Spanish name form ‘Pico Falsa Aguja’ as this major peak is hardly associated with the ‘true’ Needle Peak (Pico Aguja), a sharp black peak of elevation just 370 m situated near Samuel Point 8 km away.
[edit] Location
