Description

Wikipedia

Ongal Peak (Bulgarian: връх Онгъл, romanized: vrah Ongal, IPA: [ˈvrɤx ˈɔŋɡɐɫ]) is a sharp glaciated peak rising to 1151 m on Levski Ridge of Tangra Mountains, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It surmounts Shipka Valley on the north-northwest, and Huron Glacier and its tributaries on the north and northeast. The peak was first ascended and surveyed on 21 December 2004 by the Bulgarian Lyubomir Ivanov from Camp Academia. It was named after the historic Ongal region of the First Bulgarian Empire located in the Danube Delta area and north of the Black Sea, in connection with the Battle of Ongal.
