The Strelcha track (English; Bulgarian рид Стрелча rid Strelcha ) is a rocky, partially icy, 5.3 km long in the south-southeast-north-north-west orientation, 1,4 km wide and up to 650 m high ridge on the Graham Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 9.56 km northeast of Mezzo Buttress , 6 km east of Vardun Point , 10 km south of Mount Dewey and 38.8 km west of Kjulewcha Nunatak in the western foothills of the Bruce Plateau . Its steep west, north and east slopes are partly not icy. The Birley Glacier lies north and east, one of its subsidiary glaciers to the west of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1971. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2015 after the town of Streltscha in southern Bulgaria .
