Oryahovo Heights (Oryahovski Vazvisheniya \o-'rya-hov-ski v&-zvi-'she-ni-ya\) are the ice-covered heights of elevation 340 m extending 6 km in north-south direction in central and eastern Ioannes Paulus II Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. They are linked to Snow Peak to the southeast by two saddles separated by the small ice dome of Casanovas Peak described by Àlex Simón i Casanovas from the Spanish Antarctic Programme in the 2000/01 austral summer. The heights were visited by a field party from the British base camp Station P during the summer season 1957/58.[1]
They are named after the town of Oryahovo in northwestern Bulgaria.
