Vaskidovich Ridge (English; Bulgarian Васкидович рид Waskidowitsch rid ) is a largely icy, east-west facing 4.6 km long, 1.5 km wide and up to 1350 m high mountain ridge on the West Antarctic Alexander I Island . On the west side of the Rouen Mountains it rises immediately north of the western entrance to the Golden Pass , 10.32 km north-northeast of the Serpent Nunatak , 14.73 km east-northeast of the central heights of the Landers Peaks , 12.6 km southwest of Mount Sanderson and 15, 25 km west-southwest of Mount Cupola . The Nichols Snowfield is west-southwest of him.
British scientists mapped it in 1991. The two Bulgarian geologists Christo Pimperew and Borislaw Kamenow visited it on January 28, 1988 together with Philip Nell and Peter Marquis from the British Antarctic Survey . The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2017 after the Bulgarian scholar and freedom fighter Emanuil Waskidowitsch (1795–1875).
