- Levski Ridge
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 andDevin Saddle to the E, and the same distance betweenCherepish Ridge to the N andChristoff Cliff to the S. It is bounded byHuron Glacier to the N,Iskar Glacier to the NE,Macy Glacier andBoyana Glacier to the SW, andSrebarna Glacier andMagura 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.Location
The midpoint is located at coord|62|39|45|S|60|03|00|W| which is situated 6.84 km E of Mount Friesland, 6.8 km SE of Kuzman Knoll, 6.75 km WSW of Delchev Peak, and 3.3 km NW of M’Kean Point (British mapping in
