Preslav Crag


Preslav Crag is a sharp peak rising to approx. 600 m in Friesland Ridge, Tangra Mountains, eastern Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The peak has precipitous and ice-free south-western as well as north-eastern slopes and overlooks Prespa Glacier to the southwest and Macy Glacier to the northeast, the latter flowing between Preslav Crag and Peshev Ridge into Brunow Bay.

The peak is named after the Bulgarian town of Preslav Veliki Preslav, that in the ninth century was the capital of the First Bulgarian Kingdom.
