Oborishte Ridge (English; Bulgarian рид Оборище rid Oborishte ) is a rocky, 1.6 km long and up to 340 m high mountain ridge on Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It towers at the southwest end of Breznik Heights on the southeast bank of Yankee Harbor .
Bulgarian scientists mapped it in the course of surveying the Tangra Mountains on the neighboring Livingston Island between 2004 and 2005. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2005 after the town of Oborischte in central Bulgaria .
