Great Needle Peak

Great Needle Peak (Bulgarian: Голям Иглен връх, romanized: Golyam Iglen vrah, IPA: [ɡoˈʎam ˈiɡlɛn ˈvrɤx]; variant name in Spanish: pico Falsa Aguja, lit.

'False Needle Peak') is the summit of the central Levski Ridge in Tangra Mountains on Livingston Island, Antarctica.

[3][4] The first ascent and GPS survey of Great Needle Peak was made on 8 January 2015 by the Bulgarian mountaineers Doychin Boyanov, Nikolay Petkov and Aleksander Shopov from Camp Academia locality (541 m) via Lozen Saddle (437 m) and Plana Peak (740 m).

[5] Their measured peak elevation of 1,679.5 m)[1] updated the previously existing estimate (1,690 m according to the Bulgarian topographic survey Tangra 2004/05[6][4]), and confirmed that the summit of both the mountains and the island is indeed the 1700.2 m[7][8] high Mount Friesland.
