Satovcha Peak

Satovcha Peak (Bulgarian: връх Сатовча, romanized: vrah Satovcha, IPA: [ˈvrɤx sɐˈtɔft͡ʃɐ]) is the mostly ice-covered peak rising to 1400 m in Havre Mountains, northern Alexander Island in Antarctica. It surmounts Bongrain Ice Piedmont to the northeast and Lennon Glacier to the southwest. Its south slopes are precipitous and partly ice-free. The vicinity was visited on 4 January 1988 by the geological survey party of Christo Pimpirev and Borislav Kamenov (First Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition), and Philip Nell and Peter Marquis (British Antarctic Survey).
