Modren Peak ( Bulgarian: връх Модрен, romanized: vrah Modren, IPA: [ˈvrɤx ˈmɔdrɛn]) is the peak rising to 1748 m [1] in Owen Ridge, the southernmost portion of the main ridge of Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free north and southwest slopes, and surmounts lower Nimitz Glacier to the west.
The peak is named after the historical settlement of Modren in Southern Bulgaria.
