Dimov Gate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dimov Gate (Dimova Porta \'di-mo-va 'por-ta\) is a 300 m wide ice-covered pass in Antarctica, located in eastern Livingston Island bounded by Bowles Ridge to the SE and by Hemus Peak to the NW. The pass separates the glacial catchments of Kaliakra Glacier, and the nameless tributary glacier draining the area between Hemus Peak and Bowles West Peak and flowing west-southwestwards into Perunika Glacier. It affords overland access from Perunika Glacier to the northern slopes of Bowles Ridge and to upper Kaliakra Glacier.
The pass is named after Dimo Dimov, geologist at St. Kliment Ohridski in several seasons since 1993.
