The Telerig Nunatak ( Bulgarian нунатак Телериг nunatak Telerig ) is a 170 m high nunatak on Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . On the southwestern foothills of Dryanovo Heights, it rises 1.6 km southeast of Kersebleptes-Nunatak , 1.68 km south-southeast of Panagyurishte-Nunatak and 1.9 km west of Lloyd Hill .
Bulgarian scientists mapped it while surveying the Tangra Mountains on neighboring Livingston Island between 2004 and 2005. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2005 after Telerig , a proto-Bulgarian Khan of the 7th century .
