Tatarchev Nunatak

Tatarchev Nunatak (Bulgarian: Татарчев нунатак, ‘Tatarchev Nunatak’ a-'tar-chev 'nu-na-tak) is the rocky ridge rising to 550 m and horseshoe-shaped, extending 3.2 km in north-south direction and 2.2 km in east-west direction on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land. It is part of the glacial divide between Hektoria Glacier to the west and Brenitsa Glacier to the east. The feature is named after Hristo Tatarchev (1869-1952), a leader of the Bulgarian liberation movement in Macedonia.
