Vranya Pass

Vranya Pass ({{langx|bg|проход Враня}}, ‘Prohod Vranya’ \'pro-hod 'vra-nya\) is the ice-covered saddle of elevation 2100 m separating Sullivan Heights from Vinson Massif in Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica. It is part of the glacial divide between Crosswell Glacier to the northwest and Hinkley Glacier to the east.

The saddle is named after the settlement of Vranya in Southwestern Bulgaria.
