The Karia Peak (English, Bulgarian връх Кария wrach Karija ) is a 1,650 m high, rounded and icy mountain on the Loubet coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . In the western foothills of the Bruce Plateau, it rises 5.6 km south-southeast of Mount Lyttleton , 10 km southwest of Purmerul Peak and 13.2 km north-northeast of Mount Bain . Its steep west and south slopes are partly not icy. The Erskine Glacier lies to the south, one of its subsidiary glaciers to the west and north of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2015 after the ancient city of Karija in northeastern Bulgaria .
