The Vladaya Saddle (English; Bulgarian Владайска седловина Wladajska sedlowina ) is a 1000 m high mountain saddle on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In the Friesland Ridge of the Tangra Mountains, it lies between St. Cyril Peak in the northeast and St. Methodius Peak in the southwest.
Bulgarian scientists mapped it between 1995 and 1996. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2006 after the village of Wladaja in western Bulgaria .
