Location

Trinity Peninsula, Antarctic Peninsula. Srednogorie Heights towards northwest end

Srednogorie Heights are in Graham Land, facing the Bransfield Strait to the north. They are situated east of Bone Bay, west of Louis-Philippe Plateau, north of Russell West Glacier and south of Malorad Glacier. They extend 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) in an east-west direction and 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) in a north-south direction. The heights are named after Sredna Gora Mountains in central Bulgaria.

REMA Explorer

The Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) gives ice surface measurements of most of the continent. When a feature is ice-covered, the ice surface will differ from the underlying rock surface and will change over time. To see ice surface contours and elevation of a feature as of the last REMA update, Open the Antarctic REMA Explorer Enter the feature's coordinates in the box at the top left that says "Find address or place", then press enter The coordinates should be in DMS format, e.g. 65°05'03"S 64°01'02"W. If you only have degrees and minutes, you may not be able to locate the feature. Hover over the icons at the left of the screen Find "Hillshade" and click on that In the bottom right of the screen, set "Shading Factor" to 0 to get a clearer image Find "Contour" and click on that In the "Contour properties" box, select Contour Interval = 1m You can zoom in and out to see the ice surface contours of the feature and nearby features Find "Identify" and click on that Click the point where the contour lines seem to indicate the top of the feature The "Identify" box will appear to the top left. The Orthometric height is the elevation of the ice surface of the feature at this point.
