Viskyar Ridge (English; Bulgarian рид Вискяр rid Wiskjar ) is a rocky, north-south orientation 2.5 km long and at its northern end up to 600 m high mountain ridge on Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In the Breznik Heights it rises 1.47 km southeast of Momchil Peak , 2.9 km east of Razgrad Peak and 1 km west of Vratsa Peak . The Sartorius Point forms its southern branch. The Scherawna Glacier lies to the west and the Targovishte Glacier to the east of it.
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 Mount Wiskjar in western Bulgaria .
