The Arsela Peak (English; Bulgarian връх Арсела wrach Arsela ) is a 1600 m high mountain in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the southernmost part of the main ridge of the Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains, it juts 11 km southeast of Lishness Peak , 14.9 km west-southwest of Mountainview Ridge , 4 km north-northwest of Bowers Corner and 12.1 km northeast of O'Neal-Nunatakker at the southern end of the Owen Ridge on. Its steep and striking north and south-west slopes are partly not icy. The Nimitz Glacier is southwest and the end of the Wessbecher Glacier is northeast of it.
American scientists mapped it in 1961 and 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the ancient Thracian settlement of Arsela in southern Bulgaria .
