Konstantin Buttress

Konstantin Buttress (Bulgarian: рид Константин, ‘Rid Konstantin’ \'rid kon-stan-'tin) is the ice-covered buttress rising to 1700 m in the southwest foothills of Detroit Plateau on Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land. It is situated between southwest-flowing tributaries to Drygalski Glacier, and has precipitous, partly ice-free west and south slopes. The feature is named after Czar Konstantin II of Bulgaria, 1396-1422.
