The Buache Peak (English; Bulgarian връх Бюаш wrach Bjuasch ) is a 600 m high and mostly icy mountain on Two Hummock Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 1.63 km southwest of Modev Peak , 4.8 km northwest of Veyka Point and 1.93 km northeast of Palaver Point . Its west-northwest slopes, some of which are not icy, are striking.
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the French cartographer Philippe Buache (1700–1773), who had published maps of the southern polar region in 1739 and 1754.
