Sentinel Range map.

Dropla Gap (Bulgarian: седловина Дропла, ‘Sedlovina Dropla’ \ se-dlo-vi-'na dro-'pla\) is the flat, ice-covered saddle of elevation 1073 m[1] in north-central Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica, extending 1.35 km to link Maglenik Heights to the west and Barnes Ridge to the east. It is part of the glacial divide between Young Glacier to the north and Arapya Glacier to the south.

The gap is named after the settlements of Dropla in Northeastern and Southeastern Bulgaria.
