Charrúa Gap

Charrúa Gap (Sedlovina Charrúa \se-dlo-vi-'na cha-'ru-a\) is a flat ice-covered saddle extending 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) in east-west direction between Castillo Nunatak and Charrúa Ridge on Hurd Peninsula, eastern Livingston Island at an elevation of 275 metres (902 ft).

The glacial catchments of the last two glaciers are separated by a nameless ice-covered saddle extending 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) between the midpoint of Charrúa Gap to the north and Napier Peak (380 metres (1,250 ft)) to the south.

A small nameless lake is ice-dammed in a deep hollow to the east of Charrúa Ridge.

The midpoint of Charrúa Gap is located at 62°39′18″S 60°19′29″W / 62.65500°S 60.32472°W / -62.65500; -60.32472 which is 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) southeast of Sinemorets Hill and 3.35 kilometres (2.08 mi) east by northeast of Mount Reina Sofía (275 metres (902 ft)).
