Location of Tangra Mountains on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands.Levski Ridge from Bransfield Strait, with Great Needle Peak in the centre.Levski Ridge from Lyaskovets Peak.Topographic map of Livingston Island and Smith Island.
The ridge takes its name from Levski Peak. Remark: The name form ‘Great Needle’ has become established in usage for the ridge's summit, with ‘great’ considered more appropriate than the adjective ‘false’ in its Spanish name form ‘Pico Falsa Aguja’ as this major peak is hardly associated with the ‘true’ Needle Peak (Pico Aguja), a sharp black peak of elevation just 370 m situated near Samuel Point 8 km away.
