Sevlievo Knoll (Bulgarian: Севлиевска могила, ‘Sevlievska mogila’ \ sɛ'vliɛfskɐ mo-'gi-lɐ\) is the rocky hill rising to 25 m on the small ice-free Hall Peninsula on Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Situated on the northwestern coast of Ivaylo Cove.[1] Due to its steep slopes and sharp summit the feature is a conspicuous landmark in the course of field work in the vicinity. The area was visited by sealers in the early 19th century.[2]
