From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mednikarov Peak (Bulgarian: Медникаров връх, romanized: Mednikarov vrah, IPA: [mɛdniˈkarɔv vrɤx]) is the ice-covered peak rising to 3007 m[1] on the west side of Rouen Mountains in northern Alexander Island, Antarctica. It surmounts Roberts Ice Piedmont on the east. The peak's vicinity was visited on 6 January 1988 by the geological 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 Flotilla admiral Boyan Mednikarov, rector of the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna that jointly with the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute has acquired and operates the polar research vessel Sts. Cyril and Methodius.[2]
