Chargan Ridge (English; Bulgarian Рид Чарган Rid Tschargan ) is a largely icy mountain ridge on the Graham coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula, 9.5 km long, 5.4 km wide and up to 1650 m high in a southeast-northwest orientation . It rises 8.9 km northeast of Mount Dewey , 10.7 km south-southeast of Mount Bigo , 5.9 km southwest of Kenderova Buttress and 31.2 km northwest of Kjulewtscha-Nunataks in the western foothills of the Bruce Plateau . Its steep north-west and north-east slopes are partly not icy. The Pollard Glacier is located northeast, the Comrie Glacier north and Bradford Glacier west or south-west of him.
British scientists mapped it in 1971. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the town of Tschargan in southeastern Bulgaria .
