Modev Peak

Location of Two Hummock Island in the Antarctic Peninsula region.

Modev Peak (Bulgarian: Модев връх, ‘Modev Vrah’ \'mo-dev 'vr&h\) is the mostly ice-covered peak rising to 670 m on Two Hummock Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. The feature has precipitous and partly ice-free northwest slopes, and overlooks Kotev Cove to the north. It is one of the two ‘hummocks’ that gave the name of the island.

The peak is named after Stanimir Modev, mechanic at St. Kliment Ohridski base in 2002/03 and subsequent seasons.
