The Ishirkov Crag (English, Bulgarian Иширков камък Ischirkow kamak ) is a 1,300  m high mountain in the Aristotle Mountains on the Oscar-II. coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . As the highest peak of Arkovna Ridge, it rises 14.57 km southwest of Devetaki Peak , 23.48 km west of Delusion Point and 5.4 km north-northwest of Rilets Peak .
