Sipey Peak

Sipey Peak (Bulgarian: връх Сипей, romanized: vrah Sipey, IPA: [ˈvrɤx ˈsipɛj]) is the peak rising to 2200 m in Veregava Ridge, central Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It surmounts Orizari Glacier to the south-southwest, Dater Glacier to the west and north, and Berisad Glacier to the east.

Location of Sentinel Range in Western Antarctica.

The peak is named after the settlement of Sipey in Southern Bulgaria.

Location

Sipey Peak is located at 78°24′46″S 84°56′37″W, which is 5.26 km north of Mount Waldron, 9.46 km east by north of Mount Segers, 5.71 km south-southeast of Mount Farrell and 4.15 km northwest of Kushla Peak. US mapping in 1961, updated in 1988.

gollark: So basically just "optics but we are HIGHLY engineer-like and use the small angle approximation".
gollark: According to Wikipedia, which I just checked, which makes me an expert,> Gaussian optics is a technique in geometrical optics that describes the behaviour of light rays in optical systems by using the paraxial approximation, in which only rays which make small angles with the optical axis of the system are considered. In this approximation, trigonometric functions can be expressed as linear functions of the angles. Gaussian optics applies to systems in which all the optical surfaces are either flat or are portions of a sphere. In this case, simple explicit formulae can be given for parameters of an imaging system such as focal length, magnification and brightness, in terms of the geometrical shapes and material properties of the constituent elements.
gollark: Fearsome.
gollark: Is this some kind of accursed statistics thing?
gollark: Yes.
