The Rezen Saddle is a 600 m long, flat and horseshoe-shaped mountain pass in the eastern part of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It runs between the Rezen Knoll and the Burdick Ridge and allows access from the Balkan snowfield to the upper section of the Perunika Glacier in the area of Mount Bowles .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the mountain pass in 1997 based on the name of the Rezen Knoll. It is named after the mountains Goljam Resen and Malak Resen in the Bulgarian Vitosha Mountains .
