Stefan Karadzha Peak

Location of Loubet Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Stefan Karadzha Peak (Bulgarian: връх Стефан Караджа, ‘Vrah Stefan Karadzha’ \'vr&h 'ste-fan ka-ra-'dzha\) is the ice-covered peak of elevation 2050 m in the west foothills of Avery Plateau on Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It has rounded top and steep, partly ice-free west and northeast slopes, and surmounts Erskine Glacier to the northeast, and a tributary to that glacier to the south and west.

The peak is named after Stefan Karadzha (Stefan Dimov, 1840-1868), a leader of the Bulgarian liberation movement, in connection with the settlements of Stefan Karadzha in Northeastern and Stefan Karadzhovo in Southeastern Bulgaria.
