The Kableshkov Ridge (English, Bulgarian Каблешков рид Kableshkov rid ) is a 4.5 km long, 1.5 km wide and 550 m high ridge with West northwest-southeasterly orientation at the Nordenskjöld Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . With a connection to the west to the Detroit Plateau , it is bounded to the north by the Sajtschar Glacier , to the southeast by the Odrin Bay and to the southwest by the Sinion Glacier .
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2011 after the Bulgarian revolutionary and freedom fighter Todor Kableschkow (1851–1876).
