Erma Knoll
Erma Knoll (Bulgarian: Ерменска могила, romanized: Ermenska mogila, IPA: [ˈɛrmɛnskɐ moˈɡiɫɐ]) is a 412m peak in upper Huron Glacier, Livingston Island. The peak was first visited on 17 December 2004 by the Bulgarian Lyubomir Ivanov from Camp Academia, and was mapped by Bulgaria in 2005 and 2009 from the Tangra 2004/05 topographic survey. The knoll is named after Erma River in western Bulgaria.
Location
The knoll is located at 62°38′31″S 60°08′01″W which is 1.6 km east-southeast of Kuzman Knoll, 1.3 km northeast of Zograf Peak and 390 m northeast of Lozen Nunatak.

gollark: A lot of the time you're just doing boring drudgery integrating other already-existing things, which will soon be significantly automated I think. Sometimes you actually need to spend time thinking about clever algorithms to do a thing, or how to make your thing go faster, or why your code mysteriously doesn't work, which is harder.
gollark: It's mentally challenging, sometimes, but obviously not particularly physically hard.
gollark: There are lots of cool applications now. Automatic generation of art, protein folding, human-level competitive programming, good OCR.
gollark: Ah, but it's *very complicated* curve fitting which can sometimes do interesting things.
gollark: Any particular improvement might not work, but I would be *very very surprised* if people several hundred years ago just happened to stumble on the optimal court system.
