Roygos Ridge

Location of Loubet Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Roygos Ridge (Bulgarian: рид Ройгос, ‘Rid Roygos’ \'rid 'roy-gos\) is a mostly ice-covered ridge extending 9.6 km in a southeast-northwest direction, 3.2 km wide and rising to 1247 m[1] on the east coast of Darbel Bay, Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It has rounded top and steep, partly ice-free north and south slopes, and surmounts Erskine Glacier to the south and Cardell Glacier to the north.

The ridge is named after the Thracian King Roygos (3rd century BC).
