Leslie Gap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leslie Gap (Sedlovina Leslie \se-dlo-vi-'na 'les-li\) is an 395m high ice-covered saddle extending 2.7 km in S-N direction between Leslie Hill and Radnevo Peak in northeastern Livingston Island. The saddle separates the glacial catchments of Kaliakra Glacier to the E and Saedinenie Snowfield to the W. It is part of the overland route from Bowles Ridge to Vidin Heights. The S extremity of the saddle features a minor but conspicuous ice-covered knoll of elevation 404 m just N of Leslie Hill. The feature takes its name from the adjacent Leslie Hill and was first visited on 25 December 2004.
