The Kenderová Buttress (English, Bulgarian Рид Кендерова Rid Kenderowa ) is a 1800 m high and icy ridge at the Graham Coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 14.8 km northeast of Mount Dewey , 11.45 km southeast of Mount Bigo , 12.66 km southwest of Mount Chevreux and 28.64 km northwest of the Kjulewtscha Nunataks in the western foothills of the Bruce Plateau . Its steep south-west and north-west slopes are partially free of ice. The Comrie Glacier is northeast or northwest, the Pollard Glacier is southwest of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1971. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the Bulgarian geomorphologist Rosiza Kenderowa, who was active in several campaigns at the St. Kliment Ohridski station from 2004 onwards.
