Preslav Crag

Preslav Crag (Vrah Preslav 'vr&h pre-'slav) is a sharp peak rising to approx. 600 m in Friesland Ridge, Tangra Mountains, eastern Livingston Island, Antarctica. The peak has precipitous and ice-free south-western and north-eastern slopes and overlooks Prespa Glacier to the SW and Macy Glacier to the NE, the latter flowing between Preslav Crag and Peshev Ridge into Brunow Bay. The peak is named after the Bulgarian town of Preslav (Veliki Preslav), that in the ninth century was the capital of the First Bulgarian Kingdom.
