The Kaliva Range (English; Bulgarian Хребет Калива Chrebet Kaliva ) is a largely icy, southeast-northwest orientation 24.7 km long, 10 km wide and up to 1600 m high mountain range in the northwestern foothills of the Detroit plateau on the border between Danco- and Davis coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic peninsula . It rises partially on the Chavdar Peninsula and is connected to the Perkos Dome via the Sinitovo Gap to the southeast . The Breguet Glacier is south, the Gregory Glacier is southwest. The Tumba Ice Cap , the Samodiwa and Pirin Glaciers join to the north and the Wright-Piedmont Glacier to the northeast .
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the ancient fortress of Kaliwa in southeastern Bulgaria .
