Sofia University Mountains

Sofia University Mountains (планина Софийски Университет \pla-ni-'na so-'fiy-ski u-ni-ver-si-'tet\) are a cluster of four small mountains, 21 kilometres (13 mi) long in the southwest–northeast direction and 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) wide, rising to ca.

1,422 metres (4,665 ft) (Mount Kliment Ohridski) in northern Alexander Island.

The mountains comprise Mount Braun to the northwest, Balan Ridge to the north and Landers Peaks to the northeast, and the ridge of Mount Kliment Ohridski to the south.

During the first Bulgarian Antarctic campaign organized on that occasion, the southeast edge of Sofia University Mountains and foothills of neighbouring Rouen Mountains and Elgar Uplands were visited in February 1988 by a field party including two members of the British Antarctic Survey, geologist Philip Nell and mountain guide and physician Peter Marquis, and two Bulgarian geologists, Christo Pimpirev and Borislav Kamenov.
