Basarbovo Ridge
Basarbovo Ridge (Bulgarian: Басарбовски рид, ‘Basarbovski Rid’ \ba-'sar-bov-ski 'rid\) is the ice-covered ridge rising to 1400 m on the east side of Stribog Mountains on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It extends 10.4 km from Taran Plateau to the northwest to Bov Point to the southeast. It has steep and partly ice-free southwest slopes, and surmounts Malpighi Glacier to the southwest and Svetovrachene Glacier to the northeast.
The ridge is named after the settlement of Basarbovo in Northeastern Bulgaria.

gollark: There was that interesting paper where someone used genetic algorithms to automatically design a circuit of some kind on a FPGA, and it came up with an incomprehensible but very effective design which used weird properties of the hardware a human wouldn't consider.
gollark: You throw big piles of training data and computing power at a neural network and it "learns" to do some task or other, but a human looking at the net might have no clue how it's managing it.
