Balis Ridge (English; Bulgarian Рид Балис rid Balis ) is a rocky, partly ice-covered, 7 km long, 1.9 km wide and 1100 m high ridge in a southeast-northwest orientation in the northern foothills of the Forbidden Plateau on the Danco coast of the Grahamlands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 5.55 km east of Bacho Kiro Peak , 5.34 km south-southwest of Pishtachev Peak and 7.28 km northwest of Mount Walker . The Rozier Glacier lies to the northeast, the Montgolfier Glacier to the southwest and Wilhelmina Bay and its southwestern part, Piccard Cove , to the southwest, where it ends in the Sophie Cliff .
British scientists mapped it in 1980. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the Thracian deity of Bali .
