The Drinov Peak (English; Bulgarian Дринов връх Drinow wrach ) is a 1630 m high mountain on Smith Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In the Imeon Range it rises 3.5 km north-northeast of Antim Peak , 1.9 km north of Slatina Peak and 1.8 km southwest of Mount Pisgah . The Owetsch Glacier lies to the southeast, the Wetrino Glacier to the north, the Jablaniza Glacier to the northwest and the Tschuprene Glacier to the southwest of it.
Bulgarian scientists mapped it in 2008. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in the same year after the Bulgarian historian Marin Drinow (1838–1906), founding chairman of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences .
