The Trajan Gate (English, Bulgarian Траянови врата Trajanowi wrata ) is an approximately 850 m high, 4.3 km wide and flattened mountain saddle in the north of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Trinity Peninsula , it separates the Malorad Glacier in the north from the Russell West Glacier to the south . It connects Mount Ignatiev in Srednogorie Heights in the west with the Louis Philippe Plateau in the east. The Lambuh Knoll rises up in the northern entrance .
German and British scientists mapped it together in 1996. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2010 after a mountain pass of the same name in western Bulgaria .
