The Viamata Saddle (English; Bulgarian седловина Виамата sedlowina Wiamata ) is a 600 m high saddle on the Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It connects 6.53 km south-southeast of Virchow Hill , 3.35 km southwest of Mount Cabeza , 7.67 km west-northwest of Petroff Point and 1 km north-northeast of Regianum Peak, the Stavertsi Ridge in the east-northeast with the Stribog Mountains in the west-southwest. It is part of the watershed between the Paré Glacier in the northwest and the part of the ice sheet that flows east-southeast into Hill Bay .
British scientists mapped it in 1980 and 2008. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2015 after the Roman camp Viamata in southern Bulgaria .
