Stryama Peak ( Bulgarian: връх Стряма, romanized: vrah Stryama, IPA: [ˈvrɤx ˈstrʲamɐ]) is the ice-covered peak rising to 2193 m [1] on the west side of Rouen Mountains in northern Alexander Island, Antarctica. It surmounts Rosselin Glacier to the north-northwest. The peak's foothills were visited on 10 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 settlement of Stryama in Southern Bulgaria.
Location
The peak is located at 69°18′45″S 70°50′10″W / 69.31250°S 70.83611°W, which is 6.14 km southwest of Mount Sanderson, 5.67 km west-northwest of Mount Cupola, 17.9 km north-northeast of Serpent Nunatak, 18.52 km northeast of the central height of Landers Peaks in Sofia University Mountains, and 18.15 km east-southeast of Breze Peak in Havre Mountains.
