Ezerets Knoll

Location of Graham Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Ezerets Knoll (Bulgarian: Езерецка могила, ‘Ezeretska Mogila’ \e-ze-'rets-ka mo-'gi-la\) is the narrow, mostly ice-covered ridge extending 3.35 km in west-northwest to east-southeast direction, 800 m wide and rising to 900 m in the west foothills of Bruce Plateau on Graham Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It surmounts Hugi Glacier to the west and its tributary Rickmers Glacier to the northeast.
