Stavertsi Ridge (English; Bulgarian Ставерци хребет Stawerzi chrebet ) is a largely icy mountain ridge on the Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Albena Peninsula, it rises in an east-west orientation with a length of 11 km and a width of 4.7 km southeast of the Paré Glacier . It is connected to the Stribog Mountains to the west via the Viamata Saddle . Its northern and southern slopes are drained by the Tschumerna Glacier and the Grigorow Glacier, respectively .
British scientists mapped it in 1980 and 2008. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2015 after the town of Stawerzi in northern Bulgaria .
