Paril Saddle

Paril Saddle (Parilska Sedlovina pa-'ril-ska se-dlo-vi-'na) is a saddle of elevation 1398 m in Friesland Ridge in Tangra Mountains on Livingston Island, Antarctica. Bounded by St. Boris Peak to the northeast, and Simeon Peak to the southwest. Overlooking Macy Glacier to the east and southeast, and Huntress Glacier to the west and northwest. Bulgarian topographic survey in 1995/96 (estimated elevation 1390 m), and mapping in 2005 and 2009. It was first visited and GPS-surveyed by the Bulgarian climbers D. Boyanov, N. Petkov and N. Hazarbasanov on 16 January 2017.

The feature is named after the settlement of Paril and the adjacent homonymous saddle between Pirin Mountain and Slavyanka Mountain in southwestern Bulgaria.
