Stefan Karadzha Peak

Location of Loubet Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Stefan Karadzha Peak (Bulgarian: връх Стефан Караджа, romanizedvrah Stefan Karadzha, IPA: [ˈvrɤx ˈstɛfɐn kɐrɐˈd͡ʒa]) is the ice-covered peak of elevation 2038 m[1] in the west foothills of Avery Plateau on Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It has rounded top and steep, partly ice-free west and northeast slopes, and surmounts Erskine Glacier to the northeast, and a tributary to that glacier to the south and west.

The peak is named after Stefan Karadzha (Stefan Dimov, 1840–1868), a leader of the Bulgarian liberation movement, in connection with the settlements of Stefan Karadzha in Northeastern and Stefan Karadzhovo in Southeastern Bulgaria.
