Chintulov Ridge (English; Bulgarian Чинтулов хребет Tschintulow ) is a rocky, north-northwest-south-southeast orientation 6.9 km long, 2.6 km wide and up to 850 m high mountain ridge in the Aristotle Mountains on the Oskar II coast of the Grahamlands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises from the southeastern foothills of Mount Sara Teodora at a distance of 5.78 km south-southeast of its summit, 5.07 km northwest of Hitrino Ridge , 11.46 km north of Bildad Peak and 12.58 km east-northeast of Mount Fedallah . The Ambergris Glacier lies to the west, the Flask Glacier and one of its subsidiary glaciers to the south or east of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the Bulgarian poet Dobri Chintulow (1822–1886) in connection with the village of Chintulowo in southeastern Bulgaria .
