Vaskidovich Ridge

Vaskidovich Ridge (Васкидович рид, ‘Vaskidovich Rid’ \va-'ski-do-vich 'rid\) is the mostly ice-covered ridge extending 4.6 km in east-west direction and 1.5 km wide, rising to 1518 m at its east extremity, situated on the west side of Rouen Mountains in northern Alexander Island, Antarctica. The ridge surmounts Nichols Snowfield to the west-southwest. It was visited on 28 January 1988 by the geological survey team of Christo Pimpirev and Borislav Kamenov (First Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition), and Philip Nell and Peter Marquis (British Antarctic Survey).

The feature is named after the Bulgarian National Revival enlightener Emanuil Vaskidovich (1795-1875).
