Parchevich Ridge (English; Bulgarian Парчевич рид Partschewitsch rid ) is a partially freeze and up to 370 m high mountain ridge on Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In the Breznik Heights is located north of Hardy Cove , 0.6 km south of Benkowski Nunatak and 1.7 km southwest of Santa Cruz Point .
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 2006 after the Catholic Bulgarian Bishop Petar Partschewitsch (1612–1674), a pioneer of the Bulgarian independence movement .
