Mount Sarnegor
Mount Sarnegor (Bulgarian: връх Сърнегор, romanized: vrah Sarnegor, IPA: [ˈvrɤx sɐrnɛˈɡɔr]) is the mostly ice-covered mountain of elevation 1189 m in Solvay Mountains on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free southwest and northwest slopes, and surmounts Zlatiya Glacier to the north, Rush Glacier to the south and Aluzore Gap to the east-northeast. A westerly offshoot of the feature forms Sidell Spur, extending to the seashore.
Brabant Island seen from northeast, with Anvers Island (on the right) and Antarctic Peninsula in the background; Solvay Mountains are on the left, far side of the island.
