Location of Brabant Island in the Antarctic Peninsula region.

Gutsal Ridge (Bulgarian: Гуцалски хребет, ‘Gutsalski Hrebet’ \'gu-tsal-ski 'hre-bet\) is the ice-covered ridge extending 10.4 km in northwest-southeast direction and rising to 1574 m (Trambesh Peak)[1] on the southeast side of Stribog Mountains on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. The southeast half of the ridge has steep and partly ice-free southwest slopes. It surmounts Hippocrates Glacier to the southwest and Balanstra Glacier to the northeast.

The ridge is named after the settlement of Gutsal in Western Bulgaria.
