Location of Davis Coast.

Zabernovo Bastion (Bulgarian: рид Заберново, ‘Rid Zabernovo’ \'rid za-'ber-no-vo\) is the rounded ice-covered buttress extending 8.5 km in southeast–northwest direction and 10.5 km in southwest–northeast direction, rising to 1900 m[1] on Davis Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It is situated on the northwest side of Detroit Plateau, with Topola Ridge and few smaller ridges branching from Zabernovo Bastion on the north. The feature has steep southwest, northwest and east slopes surmounting Henson Glacier and its tributary to the southwest and west, and some tributaries to Temple Glacier to the north and east.

The buttress is named after the settlement of Zabernovo in Southeastern Bulgaria.
