The Egerika Range (English; Bulgarian Хребет Егерика Chrebet Egerika ) is a largely icy, north-south orientation 16.2 km long, 7 km wide and up to 1200 m high mountain range in the northern foothills of the Herbert Plateau on the Danco coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic peninsula . There is a connection to the Obretenik Bastion in the south via the Kormyansko Saddle . The Blériot Glacier lies to the west, the Hughes Bay to the northwest and the Cayley Glacier east of him.
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the Thracian settlement of Egerika in western Bulgaria .
