Goloe Pass (Bulgarian: проход Голое, ‘Prohod Goloe’ \'pro-hod go-'lo-e\) is the ice-covered saddle of elevation 2468 m[1] between Enitsa Peak and Bruguière Peak on the side ridge that trends 9.15 km northeastwards from Mount Giovinetto on the main crest of north-central Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It is part of the glacial divide between Rumyana Glacier to the southeast and Delyo Glacier to the northwest.
The pass is named after the ancient and medieval fortress of Goloe in Southeastern Bulgaria.
