Viamata Saddle

Viamata Saddle (Bulgarian: седловина Виамата, ‘Sedlovina Viamata’ \se-dlo-vi-'na vi-a-'ma-ta\) is the ice-covered saddle of elevation 658 m[1] on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica, connecting Stavertsi Ridge on the east-northeast to Stribog Mountains on the west-southwest.

It is part of the glacial divide between Paré Glacier to the northwest and a part of the ice cap draining east-southeastwards into Hill Bay.

The saddle is named after the ancient Roman station of Viamata in Southern Bulgaria.
