Kaliva Range

Kaliva Range (Bulgarian: хребет Калива, ‘Hrebet Kaliva’ \'hre-bet ka-'li-va\ is the mostly ice-covered range extending 24.7 km in southeast-northwest direction and 10 km wide, rising to 1600 m in the northwest foothills of Detroit Plateau and partly on Chavdar Peninsula, on the border between Davis Coast and Danco Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It is connected to Perkos Dome to the southeast by Sinitovo Gap, and surmounts Breguet Glacier to the south, Gregory Glacier to the southwest, Tumba, Samodiva and Pirin Glaciers to the north, and Wright Ice Piedmont to the northeast.

gollark: If you become significantly colder then you *may* summon cryoapioform.
gollark: That could be fun too, but I meant based on use of similar instructions in existing golflangs.
gollark: What if golflang with Huffman coding for instructions (or arithmetic coding or whatever the trendy thing is now) based on measured frequency of instructions in arbitrary code golf challenges?
