Wikipedia

Evlogi Peak (Bulgarian: връх Евлоги, romanized: vrah Evlogi, IPA: [ˈvrɤx ɛˈvɫɔɡi]) is a peak rising to 2,024 m in Imeon Range on Smith Island, South Shetland Islands. It is situated 1 km north-northeast of the summit Mount Foster, and 1.3 km southwest of Antim Peak, with intervening saddles of elevation 1,899 and 1,744 m (Vakarel Saddle), respectively. Its prominence of 126 m makes it a distinct peak rather than a twin peak to Mount Foster as previously believed. It overlooks Chuprene Glacier to the northwest, Pashuk Glacier to the east and Rupite Glacier to the southeast. Bulgarian mapping in 2009. The peak was named after the Bulgarian financier, industrialist and philanthropist Evlogi Georgiev (1819–1897) whose endowment funded the construction of Sofia University’s main building.
