The Zhelad Saddle (English; Bulgarian Седловина Желъд Sedlowina Schelad ) is an icy, 350 m long and 950 m high saddle in the western slopes of the Detroit plateau at the Danco Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It connects the northwest slopes of the Razhana Buttress with the Sonketa Ridge , 11.3 km east of Charles Point, and forms part of the watershed between the Sikorsky Glacier in the north and the Trepetlika Glacier in the southwest.
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the town of Schelad in northeastern Bulgaria .
