Dodunekov Peak

Location of Graham Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Dodunekov Peak (Bulgarian: Додунеков връх, ‘Dodunekov Vrah’ \do-'du-ne-kov 'vr&h\) is the ice-covered peak rising to 1100 m in the west foothills of Bruce Plateau on Graham Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free southwest slopes, and surmounts Caulfield Glacier to the north and Rickmers Glacier to the south.

The peak is named after Stefan Dodunekov (1945-2012), for his support for the Bulgarian Antarctic topographic surveys and mapping.
