The Eyer Peak (English; Bulgarian връх Айер wrach Ajer ) is a 3368 m high mountain in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In Probuda Ridge in the north-central part of the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, it rises 4.48 km northeast of Mount Anderson , 4.25 km east to south of Mount Bentley and 4.42 km south-southwest of Mount Press . The Embree Glacier is northwest and north, the Ellen Glacier southeast of it.
An Australian-Chilean team led by the Australian mountaineer and polar explorer Damien Gildea (* 1969) made the first ascent on December 26, 2006. American scientists mapped it in 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2010 after the Swiss sports educator Louis-Emil Eyer (1865-1916), founder of the Bulgarian sports movement.
