Oscar II Coast
Oscar II Coast is that portion of the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula between Cape Fairweather to the north, and Cape Alexander to the south. Discovered in 1893 by Captain C.A. Larsen, who named it for King Oscar II of Norway and Sweden. To the north of this coast is Nordenskjöld Coast The Nordenskjöld Coast (64° 30' S 60° 30' W) is located on the Antarctic Peninsula, more specifically Graham Land, which is the top region of the Peninsula. The Peninsula is a thin, long ice sheet with an Alpine-style mountain chain. The coast .... Further reading * Alan Nairn, 'The South Atlantic, Volume 1'', P 192 * Gunter Faure, Teresa M.

Graham Land
Graham Land is the portion of the Antarctic Peninsula that lies north of a line joining Cape Jeremy and Cape Agassiz. This description of Graham Land is consistent with the 1964 agreement between the British Antarctic Place-names Committee and the US Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, in which the name "Antarctic Peninsula" was approved for the major peninsula of Antarctica, and the names Graham Land and Palmer Land for the northern and southern portions, respectively. The line dividing them is roughly 69 degrees south. Graham Land is named after Sir James R. G. Graham, First Lord of the Admiralty at the time of John Biscoe's exploration of the west side of Graham Land in 1832. It is claimed by Argentina (as part of Argentine Antarctica), Britain (as part of the British Antarctic Territory) and Chile (as part of the Chilean Antarctic Territory). Graham Land is the closest part of Antarctica to South America. Thus it is the usual destination for small ships taking paying ...

Foster Plateau
Foster Plateau is a plateau, about in area, lying between Drygalski Glacier and Hektoria Glacier in northern Graham Land, Antarctica. It borders Forbidden Plateau on the south and Herbert Plateau on the north. The feature was photographed by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956–57 and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Richard A. Foster, FIDS leader of the Danco Island station in 1956 and 1957.

Ivanili Heights
Ivanili Heights ( bg, Иванилски възвишения, ‘Ivanilski Vazvisheniya’ \i-va-'nil-ski v&z-vi-'she-ni-ya\) are the heights extending 10 km in north-south direction and 7.5 km wide, rising to 1434 m (Stargel Peak) on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land. They are bounded by Brenitsa Glacier to the west and Rogosh Glacier to the east, and linked by Okorsh Saddle to Foster Plateau to the north.

Brenitsa Glacier
Brenitsa Glacier ( bg, ледник Бреница, lednik Brenitsa, ) is the 14 km long and 4.5 km wide glacier on Oscar II Coast, Graham Land in Antarctica situated southwest of Drygalski Glacier, west of Rogosh Glacier and east of Hektoria Glacier. Draining southwards from the south slopes of Foster Plateau east of Mount Quandary to flow into Vaughan Inlet, Weddell Sea next east of Hektoria Glacier.

Rogosh Glacier
Rogosh Glacier ( bg, ледник Рогош, lednik Rogosh, ) is the 29 km long and 5 km wide glacier on Oscar II Coast, Graham Land in Antarctica situated east of Brenitsa Glacier, south of Drygalski Glacier, and southwest of Zlokuchene Glacier and Risimina Glacier. Draining southwards from Kyustendil Ridge between Lovech Heights and Ivanili Heights, and turning eastwards north of Skilly Peak. At the ridge forming Cape Fairweather the glacier branches to flow into Artanes Bay to the south, and into Weddell Sea west of Pedersen Nunatak to the east. The feature is named after the settlement of Rogosh in southern Bulgaria. Location Rogosh Glacier is centred at . British mapping in 1974.

Bulgaria
Bulgaria (; bg, България, Bǎlgariya), officially the Republic of Bulgaria,, ) is a country in Southeast Europe. It is situated on the eastern flank of the Balkans, and is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia and North Macedonia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. Bulgaria covers a territory of , and is the sixteenth-largest country in Europe. Sofia is the nation's capital and largest city; other major cities are Plovdiv, Varna and Burgas. One of the earliest societies in the lands of modern-day Bulgaria was the Neolithic Karanovo culture, which dates back to 6,500 BC. In the 6th to 3rd century BC the region was a battleground for ancient Thracians, Persians, Celts and Macedonians; stability came when the Roman Empire conquered the region in AD 45. After the Roman state splintered, tribal invasions in the region resumed. Around the 6th century, these territories were settled by the early Slavs. The Bulgars, led by Asp ...

Mount Quandary
Mount Quandary () is a mountain on the east side and near the head of Hektoria Glacier, 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Shiver Point, in Graham Land. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955; the name arose because when first viewed it could not be determined whether the feature was part of the central plateau of Graham Land or a detached summit in Hektoria Glacier Hektoria Glacier () is a glacier flowing south from the area around Mount Johnston between Mount Quandary and Zagreus Ridge into Vaughan Inlet next west of Brenitsa Glacier and east of Green Glacier, on the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsul ....
