Delchev Peak

Delchev Peak (Делчев връх, ) is the summit of Delchev Ridge, Tangra Mountains, Livingston Island and rises to approximately 940 m. The peak surmounts Iskar Glacier to the west, Sopot Ice Piedmont to the north, and Ropotamo Glacier to the south. The peak is "named after Gotse Delchev (1872–1903), leader of the Bulgarian liberation movement in Macedonia".

Location
The peak is located at -62.64139°N, -59.93278°W which is 7.2 km east-northeast of Great Needle Peak (Falsa Aguja), 3.2 km southeast of Rila Point and 7.6 km west-southwest of Renier Point.

Delchev Peak in popular culture
The cover of the VA album Under Heaven: Vinson Massif (2010) actually features a photo not of Vinson Massif but of eastern Tangra Mountains instead, with Mugla Passage and Vaptsarov Peak in the foreground, and Elena Peak (left) and Delchev Peak (right) in the background. Both the picture and the misidentification may have possibly originated in the ‘Vinson Massif’ entry of the ‘Seven Summits Quest’ website.
