Aluzore Gap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aluzore Gap (Bulgarian: седловина Алузоре, romanized: Sedlovina Aluzore \se-dlo-vi-'na a-lu-'zo-re\) is the ice-covered saddle of elevation 1078 m[1] connecting Stribog Mountains to Solvay Mountains on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It extends 3 km in north-northwest to south-southeast direction, and is part of the glacial divide between Hippocrates Glacier to the east, and Zlatiya Glacier and Rush Glacier to the west and southwest respectively.
The saddle is named after the ancient Roman station of Aluzore in Southern Bulgaria.
Aluzore Gap is centred at 64°20′45″S 62°27′55″W, which is 3.15 km east-southeast of Veles Bastion, 3.15 km west-northwest of Mount Imhotep, 4.8 km northwest of Galen Peak and 3.2 km northeast of Mount Sarnegor. British mapping in 1980 and 2008.
