Gurev Gap

Gurev Gap

Gurev Gap (Gureva Sedlovina 'gu-re-va se-dlo-vi-'na) is a flat ice-covered saddle of 450 height extending 2.8 km in S-N direction between Hemus Peak and Gleaner Heights in eastern Livingston Island. The gap separates the glacial catchments of Kaliakra Glacier to the E, and Saedinenie Snowfield and Perunika Glacier to the W. It is part of the overland route from the St. Kliment Ohridski Base via the Balkan Snowfield, Rezen Saddle and Perunika Glacier to Varna Peninsula. The saddle was first visited on 24 December 2004 by the Tangra 2004/05 Survey team and was named for Vasil Gurev, meteorologist at St. Kliment Ohridski in several seasons since 1993.
