Saedinenie Snowfield

Saedinenie Snowfield (Lednik Saedinenie 'led-nik s&-e-di-'ne-ni-e) on Livingston Island, Antarctica, is bounded by Teres Ridge to the W, the glacial divide between the Drake Passage and Bransfield Strait to the S, Gleaner Heights, Elhovo Gap and Leslie Hill to the SE, and Leslie Gap and Vidin Heights to the E. It extends 5 km inland, and 16 km in SW-NE direction and drains into Hero Bay between Melta Point and Slab Point.

The snowfield is named after the Bulgarian town of Saedinenie (‘Reunification’), in association with the 120th anniversary of the Reunification of the Principality of Bulgaria and the province of Eastern Rumelia in 1885.
