The Sozopol Gap (English; Bulgarian Созополска седловина Sosopolska sedlowina ) is a mountain saddle over 200 m high and 250 m wide on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In the Delchev Ridge of the Tangra Mountains, it lies between Elena Peak in the southwest and Kalojan Nunatak in the northeast. It is part of the watershed between the Sopot Piedmont Glacier and the Pautalia Glacier, which flows into the Bransfield Strait .
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named the mountain saddle in 2004 after the city of Sozopol in eastern Bulgaria .
