The Prelez Gap (English, Bulgarian седловина Прелез sedlowina Preles ) is a flat, icy and 700 m high mountain saddle on the Trinity Peninsula in the north of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It connects the Marescot Ridge in the northwest with the Louis Philippe Plateau in the southeast. The upper section of the Malorad Glacier lies to the west of it.
German and British scientists mapped it together in 1996. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2010 after the town of Preles in northeastern Bulgaria .
