The Sinitovo Gap (English, Bulgarian Седловина Синитово Sedlowina Sinitowo ) is an icy, 1.6 km long and 1,100 m high mountain pass in the northwestern foothills of Detroit Plateau on the Danco Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It connects the Perkos Dome in the south with the Kaliva Range in the northwest and forms part of the watershed between the Wright-Piedmont Glacier in the east and the Breguet Glacier in the west, 30.4 km southeast of Cape Sterneck .
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the town of Sinitowo in southern Bulgaria .
