Stribog Mountains (Bulgarian: планина Стрибог, ‘Planina Stribog’ \pla-ni-'na 'stri-bog\) is the principal mountain system of Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica rising to 2498 m[1] (Mount Parry). The feature is 40 km long in north-south direction and 15 km wide, connected to Stavertsi Ridge on the northeast by Viamata Saddle, to Avroleva Heights on the east by Doriones Saddle, and to Solvay Mountains on the south by Aluzore Gap. It is heavily glaciated, with steeper and partly ice-free west slopes.
The mountains are named after the Slavic god of wind, ice and cold Stribog.

[it] Montagne di Stribog
Le montagne di Stribog sono una catena montuosa situata sull'isola Brabant, una delle isole dell'arcipelago Palmer, al largo della costa nord-occidentale della Terra di Graham, in Antartide. La catena è orientata in direzione nord-sud, raggiungendo una lunghezza di 40 km e una larghezza di 15 ed estendendosi dalla cresta Stavertsi, a nord-est, a cui è connessa dalla sella Viamata, alle cime Avroleva, a cui è unita dalla sella Doriones, alle montagne di Solvay, da cui la separa il passo Aluzore. Dai versanti delle montagne di Stribog, il cui punto più alto è costituito dalla vetta del monte Parry, che arriva a 2520 m s.l.m., discendono diversi ghiacciai, come il Laennec, il Mackenzie e il Malpighi.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
