Belozem Hill Explained
Belozem Hill (Halm Belozem) is the northeasternmost of a chain of hills along Bulgarian Beach on Hurd Peninsula in the east of Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands in Antarctica. The hill is boulder-clay capped with twin summits; the higher east-northeastern of them rising to 41 m. It is snow free in summer. The hill was mapped by the Spanish Servicio Geográfico del Ejército in 1991, and by Bulgaria in 1996 and 2005.
Belozem is the name of a settlement in southern Bulgaria, ‘belozem’ being the Bulgarian for ‘white soil.’
