Atlantic Club Ridge ( Bulgarian връх Атлантически Клуб wrach Atlantitscheski Klub , German 'Summit of the Atlantic Club ' ) is a mountain ridge up to 165 m high on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It rises 750 m southeast of Cape Hesperides .
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 1995 in honor of the Bulgarian Atlantic Association, organizer of the two Bulgarian Antarctic expeditions from 1993 to 1994 and from 1994 to 1995. The US Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names took over the Bulgarian name in 1996 and translated it into English. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, on the other hand, named the ridge as Sarah Ridge after the sloop Sarah , which was used there for seal hunting a few years after the confirmed discovery of the South Shetland Islands in 1819.
