Vidin Heights

Vidin Heights (, ) are predominantly ice-covered heights rising to on Varna Peninsula, eastern Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The feature is approximately long from the north end of Leslie Gap east-northeastwards to Inott Point and north-northeastwards to Sayer Nunatak.

The summit, Miziya Peak, is located north by east of Mount Bowles, north-northeast of Leslie Hill, south of Williams Point and west of Edinburgh Hill. The heights feature also Samuel Peak east-southeast of Miziya Peak, and Sharp Peak at their east-northeast extremity. The heights surmount Saedinenie Snowfield to the northwest, Rose Valley Glacier to the northeast, Debelt Glacier and Panega Glacier to the southeast, and Kaliakra Glacier to the south.

The feature is named after the city of Vidin in northwestern Bulgaria. This is one of the Bulgarian names bestowed on hitherto nameless geographical features by the Tangra 2004/05 Expedition.

Location

The heights' midpoint is located at (UK Directorate of Overseas Surveys mapping in 1968, rough Argentine mapping in 1980, and Bulgarian topographic survey Tangra 2004/05 and mapping in 2005 and 2009).
