Vladigerov Passage

Vladigerov Passage (Bulgarian: Владигеров проток, ‘Vladigerov Protok’ vla-di-'ge-rov 'pro-tok) is the passage long 5.8 km in southwest-northeast direction and 1.05 km wide in Biscoe Islands, Antarctica between Lavoisier Island on the east and Krogh Island on the west. The eponymous Vladigerov Island, 420 m long in southwest-northeast direction and 150 m wide, is lying in the narrowest part of the passage centred at 66°17′17″S 66°54′35″W, formed as a result of the retreat of the ice cap of Lavoisier Island in the early 21st century.
