Vaptsarov Peak

Vaptsarov Peak (Bulgarian: Вапцаров връх, romanized: Vaptsarov vrah, IPA: [vɐpˈt͡sarov ˈvrɤx]) rises to approximately 410 m in Delchev Ridge, Tangra Mountains, eastern Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

The peak has steep and ice-free western slopes, and surmounts Ihtiman Hook to the northwest and Sopot Ice Piedmont to the east, north and west.

The peak is named after the famous Bulgarian poet Nikola Vaptsarov (1909–42).
