Location edit

 
Trinity Peninsula, Antarctic Peninsula. Trakiya Heights towards the west of the southeast coast

The Trakiya Heights are in Graham Land towards the west of the south coast of the Trinity Peninsula, which forms the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. They are bounded by Russell West Glacier to the north, Russell East Glacier to the northeast, Victory Glacier to the southwest and Zlidol Gate to the northwest. They surmount Prince Gustav Channel, Weddell Sea to the southeast. The heights extend 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) in a northwest–southeast direction and 5.9 kilometres (3.7 mi) in a northeast–southwest direction.[2][3][1]

Mapping and name edit

A German-British mapping was undertaken in 1996. The Trakiya Heights are named after the historical region of Trakiya (Thrace).[1]
