The Kanchov Peak (English, Bulgarian Кънчов връх Kantschow wrach ) is a 1200 m high and rocky mountain at the Loubet coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . On the west coast of the Pernik Peninsula, it rises 4 km southeast of Álvarez Point , 14.2 km southwest of Mount Deeley , 9.8 km north-northwest of Zhelev Peak and 13.9 km northeast of Hooke Point . Its steep slopes are partly not icy. The Lallemand Fjord lies to the west, the Salmon Cove north and Field Glacier south-east and south of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2016 after the Bulgarian geographer, ethnographer and historian Wasil Kanchev (1862–1902).
