Balkan Snowfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Balkan Snowfield (Plato Balkan \'pla-to bal-'kan\) is an ice-covered plateau ranging from 150 to 280 m in eastern Livingston Island, Western Antarctica. It is 3 km long in southwest-northeast direction and 2 km wide. It is bounded to the south-west by Krum Rock and upper Contell Glacier, to the southeast and east by the feet of Castillo Nunatak (437 m) and Burdick Ridge and to the north by the lower course of Perunika Glacier. The field slopes gently northwestwards, its foot being bounded by the hills along Bulgarian Beach.
The area was mapped in detail by the Spanish Servicio Geográfico del Ejército in 1991.
