Stevrek Ridge (Bulgarian: хребет Стеврек, ‘Hrebet Stevrek’ \'hre-bet 'stev-rek\) is the narrow rocky ridge extending 29.9 km from the southwest part of Arkovna Ridge to the west to Radovene Point to the east, 4.1 km wide, and rising at its west extremity to 1711 m[1] in northern Aristotle Mountains on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land. It surmounts Mapple Glacier to the north, Sexaginta Prista Bay and Domlyan Bay to the east, and Melville Glacier to the south. The feature is named after the settlement of Stevrek in Northeastern Bulgaria.
