Panicheri Gap

Panicheri Gap (Bulgarian: Паничерска седловина, ‘Panicherska Sedlovina’ \pa-ni-'cher-ska se-dlo-vi-'na\) is the flat, ice-covered saddle of elevation 2109 m^[1] in north-central Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica, linking Bangey Heights to the north to Maglenik Heights to the south. It is part of the glacial divide between Kopsis Glacier to the east and Ellen Glacier to the west.

The gap is named after the settlement of Panicheri in Southern Bulgaria.
