Kuzman Knoll

Kuzman Knoll

Kuzman Knoll (Kuzmanova Mogila 'kuz-ma-no-va mo-'gi-la) is a solitary ice-covered knoll rising to 620 m in eastern Livingston Island. The knoll forms a conspicuous landmark in Wörner Gap area, overlooking Huron Glacier and upper Perunika Glacier. It was named after Kuzman Tuhchiev, participant in the 1993-94 Bulgarian Antarctic campaign and base commander at St. Kliment Ohridski during the 1994-96 seasons.

The knoll is named "Tukhchiev Knoll" by the U.S. and British Antarctic naming committees; "Kuzman Knoll" is the official Bulgarian name, which is established among the Spanish and Bulgarian scientists working in the area.

Location

The knoll is located at coord|62|38|10|S|60|09|42|W| which is 1.1 km NNE of Camp Academia site, 1.3 km E of the midpoint of Wörner Gap, 3.68 km ENE of the summit of Pliska Ridge, 4.07 km NNE of Mount Friesland, and 3 km SE of Mount Bowles (Bulgarian mapping in 1996 and 2005, from 1995/96 and 2004/05 topographic surveys respectively).
