Kostinbrod Pass (Bulgarian: Костинбродски проход, ‘Kostinbrodski Prohod’ \'ko-stin-brod-ski 'pro-hod\) is the ice-covered saddle of elevation 1100 m separating Doyran Heights from Flowers Hills in Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica. It is part of the glacial divide between Valoga Glacier and Sikera Valley.

gollark: Such small-scale and low-tech apionics operations, as well as the obvious output limitations, can't hope to match the bee quality produced by our automated hyperparallel apiolectromagnetic gradient descent algorithms.
gollark: It's saying we have "employees" who "build" things, which is ridiculous.
gollark: Regarding <#800374545608867860>: why would we *build* apiaries *manually*? That doesn't work at our scale. They mostly just spring fully formed from GTech™ picofabricators.
gollark: Oh, and GAZE upon summarized datoids.
gollark: It is, yes.
