Zhelev Peak

Zhelev Peak (Bulgarian: Желев връх, romanized: Zhelev vrah, IPA: [ˈʒɛlɛv ˈvrɤx]) is the rocky peak rising to 1759 m[1] on the west coast of Pernik Peninsula, Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica.

The feature has steep and partly ice-free west slopes, and surmounts Lallemand Fjord to the west, Field Glacier to the north and its tributary Narezne Glacier to the northeast, and Haefeli Glacier to the south-southeast.

The peak is named after Zhelyu Zhelev (1935–2015), President of Bulgaria 1990–1997, for his support for the Bulgarian Antarctic programme.
