Trakiya Heights

File:Trinity Peninsula.svg

The Trakiya Heights are in Graham Land towards the west of the south coast of the Trinity Peninsula, which forms the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula.

They are bounded by Russell West Glacier to the north, Russell East Glacier to the northeast, Victory Glacier to the southwest and Zlidol Gate to the northwest.

They surmount Prince Gustav Channel, Weddell Sea to the southeast.

The heights extend {{convert|10|km}} in a northwest–southeast direction and {{convert|5.9|km}} in a northeast–southwest direction.{{sfn|Trinity Peninsula AG and BAS}}{{sfn|Graham Land and South Shetland BAS}}{{sfn|Trakiya Heights SCAR}}

A German-British mapping was undertaken in 1996.

The Trakiya Heights are named after the historical region of Trakiya (Thrace).{{sfn|Trakiya Heights SCAR}}
