Bonev Peak
Bonev Peak (Bulgarian: Бонев връх, romanized: Bonev vrah, IPA: [ˈbɔnɛv ˈvrɤx]) is the mostly ice-covered peak of elevation 906 m[1] on Eurydice Peninsula, Danco Coast in Graham Land. It has steep and partly ice-free east and northwest slopes, and surmounts Charlotte Bay to the southwest and west, its easterly part Recess Cove to the north, and Nobile Glacier to the northeast.
The peak is named after Kamen Bonev, geologist and mountain guide at St. Kliment Ohridski base in 1998/99 and subsequent seasons.
