Nesebar Gap
Nesebar Gap is a 0.8 mile-wide bealach in the mountains in the south of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, in the British Antarctic Territory. It is bounded to the west by the Pliska Ridge and to the east by the northern slope of Mount Friesland, the island's highest mountain, and the bealach itself rises to 1,800 feet above sea level.
The Gap is part of the divide between the glacial catchments of Perunika Glacier to the north and Huntress Glacier to the south. It provides part of an overland route between Orpheus Gate to the west and Lozen Saddle to the east.
The Nesebar Gap was first mapped in detail by the Spanish Servicio Geográfico del Ejército in 1991. It was named 'Nesebar' by the Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition, after a town of that name on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast.
