The Malamir Knoll ( Bulgarian Маламирова могила Malamirowa mogila ) is a 200 m high hill on Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . On the southeastern foothills of Dryanovo Heights, it rises 2.3 km east of Tile Ridge and 2.8 km northeast of Triangle Point . It is particularly striking because of its ice-free southern slopes.
Bulgarian scientists mapped him in the course of surveying the Tangra Mountains on the neighboring Livingston Island between 2004 and 2005. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named him in 2005 after Malamir († 836), from 831 until his death Khan of the First Bulgarian Empire .
