Sinemorets Hill

Sinemorets Hill

Sinemorets Hill (Halm Sinemorets 'h&lm si-ne-'mo-rets) is the most prominent in the chain of hills surmounting Bulgarian Beach in eastern Livingston Island, Antarctica , excepting Hesperides Hill.

Sinemorets Hill is 380 m long in E-W direction and 230 m wide, with twin heights, the west-southwestern one being 64 m and the east-northeastern one 62 m, sheltering a small pool between them. It is snow free in the summer months and overlooks the Bulgarian base to the SW. Relics of an encampment were still discernible at its eastern slope in 1996.

Sinemorets is the name of a village and a cape on the Black Sea coast. The hill was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1994 at the request of the Bulgarian Second Expedition (1993-94).

Location

The peak is located at coord|62|38|25|S|60|21|42|W| which is 820 m ENE of Hespérides Point and 220 m inland from Greenpeace Rock (Mapped in detail by the Spanish Servicio Geográfico del Ejército in 1991. Co-ordinates, elevation and distances given according to a 1995-96 Bulgarian topographic survey).
