Oryahovo Heights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oryahovo Heights (Oryahovski Vazvisheniya \o-'rya-hov-ski v&-zvi-'she-ni-ya\) are the ice-covered heights of elevation 340m extending 6km in N-S direction in central and eastern Ioannes Paulus II Peninsula, Livingston Island, Antarctica. They are linked to Snow Peak to the SE by two saddles separated by a small nameless ice dome described first by Àlex Simón from the Spanish Antarctic Programme.

They are named after the town of Oryahovo in Northwestern Bulgaria.
