Satovcha Peak ( Bulgarian: връх Сатовча, romanized: vrah Satovcha, IPA: [ˈvrɤx sɐˈtɔft͡ʃɐ]) is the mostly ice-covered peak rising to 1587 m [1] in Havre Mountains, northern Alexander Island in Antarctica. It surmounts Bongrain Ice Piedmont to the northeast and Lennon Glacier to the southwest. Its south slopes are precipitous and partly ice-free. The vicinity was visited on 4 January 1988 by the geological survey party 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 settlement of Satovcha in Southwestern Bulgaria.
Location
The peak is located at 69°09′27″S 71°46′52″W / 69.15750°S 71.78111°W, which is 14.88 km east-southeast of Cape Vostok, 5.6 km south-southeast of Boyn Ridge, 13.23 km west by north of Mount Newman, 7.73 km northwest of Igralishte Peak and 6.54 km northeast of Nicolai Peak.
