The Ilinden Peak (English; Bulgarian връх Илинден wrach Ilinden ) is a 620 m high mountain on Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It rises 1.2 km northeast of Razgrad Peak , 1.3 km east to north of Terter Peak , 0.7 km west of Momchil Peak and 3.4 km northwest of Sartorius Point in the Breznik Heights . Its distinctive and partly un-iced southern flank towers over the Scherawna glacier .
Bulgarian scientists mapped it in the course of surveying the Tangra Mountains on the neighboring Livingston Island between 2004 and 2005. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2006 after the village of Ilinden in southwestern Bulgaria and in connection with the Ilinden uprising in 1903 .
