Dimitrova Peak ( Bulgarian: връх Димитрова, romanized: vrah Dimitrova, IPA: [ˈvrɤɣ dimiˈtrɔvɐ]) is the mostly ice-covered peak rising to 1903 m [1] in eastern Havre Mountains, northern Alexander Island in Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free southwest slopes, and surmounts Russian Gap to the northeast and Foreman Glacier to the south. The vicinity was visited on 8 January 1988 by the geological survey team of Christo Pimpirev and Borislav Kamenov (First Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition), and Philip Nell and Peter Marquis ( British Antarctic Survey).
The feature is named after the Bulgarian opera singer Ghena Dimitrova (1941-2005).
