Molerov Spur (Bulgarian: Молеров рид, ‘Molerov Rid’ \'mo-le-rov 'rid\) is the ridge extending 4.5 km in the south foothills of Herbert Plateau on Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land. It descends southwards into Drygalski Glacier, with ice-covered upper part rising to 1600 m and rocky lower part rising to 1400 m. The feature is named after the Bulgarian artist Dimitar Molerov (Dimitar Vishanov, 1780-1853).

gollark: Hmm, internet says it would have 196000J of energy, you actually could toast something with that!
gollark: ... what?
gollark: Thus, MANY highly expensive capacitors are needed for toasting.
gollark: Well, doesn't energy scale quadratically with voltage in capacitors?
gollark: A chemically powered toaster would effectively just be a mildly regulated flamethrower.
