Mount Sarnegor

Location of Brabant Island in the Antarctic Peninsula region.

Mount Sarnegor (Bulgarian: връх Сърнегор, ‘Vrah Sarnegor’ \'vr&h s&r-ne-'gor\) is the mostly ice-covered mountain of elevation 1150 m in Solvay Mountains on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free southwest and northwest slopes, and surmounts Zlatiya Glacier to the north, Rush Glacier to the south and Aluzore Gap to the east-northeast. A westerly offshoot of the feature forms Sidell Spur, extending to the seashore.

The mountain is named after the settlement of Sarnegor in Southern Bulgaria.
