Description

Wikipedia

Danailov Peak (Bulgarian: Данаилов връх, romanized: Danailov vrah, IPA: [dɐnɐˈiɫɔv vrɤx]) is the ice-covered peak rising to 2695 m on the west side of Rouen Mountains in northern Alexander Island, Antarctica. It surmounts Frachat Glacier on the south and Mozgovitsa Glacier on the west. 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 Captain 2nd rank Nikolay Danailov, first commander of the polar research vessel Sts. Cyril and Methodius of the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna and the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute.
