The Doriones Saddle (English; Bulgarian седловина Дорионес sedlowina Doriones ) is a 900 m high and icy mountain saddle on the Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It connects 0.73 km west-southwest of Opizo Peak , 10.8 km northeast of Mount Parry and 6.85 km southeast of Blesna Peak, the Taran Plateau in the east with the Stribog Mountains in the west. It is part of the watershed between the Laënnec glacier in the north and the Swetowratschene glacier in the south.
British scientists mapped it in 1980 and 2008. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2015 after the Roman camp Doriones in western Bulgaria .
