Ezerets Knoll (Bulgarian: Езерецка могила, ‘Ezeretska Mogila’ \e-ze-'rets-ka mo-'gi-la\) is the narrow, mostly ice-covered ridge extending 3.35 km in west-northwest to east-southeast direction, 800 m wide and rising to 1294 m[1] in the west foothills of Bruce Plateau on Graham Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It surmounts Hugi Glacier to the west and its tributary Rickmers Glacier to the northeast.
The knoll is named after the settlements of Ezerets in Northeastern and Southwestern Bulgaria.
