Progled Saddle (Bulgarian: седловина Проглед, ‘Sedlovina Progled’ \se-dlo-vi-'na 'pro-gled\) is the saddle of elevation 2517 m[1] in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica connecting Evans Peak to Versinikia Peak on the side ridge that trends 8.8 km from the south rib of Mount Giovinetto on the main crest of north-central Sentinel Range northeastwards to Debren Pass. It is part of the glacial divide between Patton Glacier to the southeast and the head of Rumyana Glacier to the northwest.
