Doyran Heights
Doyran Heights (Bulgarian: Дойрански възвишения, romanized: Doyranski Vazvisheniya, IPA: [ˈdɔjrɐnski vɐzviˈʃɛnijɐ]) are the heights rising to 3473 m[1] at Mount Tuck in the east foothills of Vinson Massif and Craddock Massif in Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica, extending 30.8 km in north–south direction and 16.5 km in east–west direction. They are bounded by Thomas Glacier to the south and southwest, Dater Glacier and Hansen Glacier to the northwest and north, and Sikera Valley to the east, linked to Craddock Massif to the west by Goreme Col, and separated from Veregava Ridge to the north by Manole Pass and from Flowers Hills to the northeast by Kostinbrod Pass. Their interior is drained by Guerrero, Hough, Remington and Obelya Glaciers.
The heights are named after the settlements of Doyrantsi in Northeastern and Southern Bulgaria.
