Nestinari Nunataks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nestinari Nunataks (Nestinarski Nunatatsi \ne-sti-'nar-ski 'nu-na-ta-tsi\) are a pair of rocky peaks of elevation 470m and 520m in middle Huron Glacier, Livingston Island, Antarctica; 250m away from each other.

They are named after the Bulgarian folkloric ritual of ‘Nestinari’ involving barefoot dancing on live embers.
