The Tsarevets Buttress (English; Bulgarian рид Царевец rid Tsarevets ) is a rounded, icy, southern North-in alignment 7 km long, 7 km wide and up to 1749 m high solid in Graham land on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Trinity Peninsula , it rises 20 km southeast of Wennersgaard Point on the northwest side of the Detroit Plateau . West-northwest, it is about the Podvis Col with Korten Ridge connected. Its steep south-west, north and east slopes are partly not icy. The Temple Glacier is southwest, the Sabine Glacier northwest and the Whitecloud Glacier north-northeast and east of it.
German and British scientists mapped it together in 1996. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2016 after the Tsarevets fortress in northern central Bulgaria .
