Sostra Heights (Bulgarian: Состренски възвишения, ‘Sostrenski Vazvisheniya’ \'so-stren-ski v&-zvi-'she-ni-ya\) are the heights rising ro 2352 m[1] at Mount Malone on the east side of northern Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. They extend 22 km in northwest–southeast direction and 16.5 km in northeast–southwest direction. The heights are bounded by Embree Glacier to the south, Sabazios Glacier to the west, Newcomer Glacier to the north and Rutford Ice Stream to the east, and separated by Robinson Pass to the southwest from the side ridge that trends 9.15 km east-northeastwards from Mount Dalrymple on the main crest of Sentinel Range. Their interior is drained by Anchialus Glacier and Vit Ice Piedmont.

The heights are named after the ancient Roman fortress of Sostra in Northern Bulgaria.

Auf der Ostseite der nördlichen Sentinel Range im Ellsworthgebirge ragt es in nordwest-südöstlicher Ausrichtung 22 km lang und 16,5 km breit nördlich des Embree-Gletschers, östlich des Sabazios-Gletschers, südlich des Newcomer-Gletschers und westlich des Rutford-Eisstroms auf. Der Robinson-Pass im Südwesten trennt es von einem Gebirgskamm, der vom Mount Dalrymple im Hauptkamm der Sentinel Range über eine Länge von 9,15 km in ostnordöstlicher Richtung abzweigt.
