The Klenova Peak (English; Bulgarian връх Кльонова wrach Kljonowa ) is a 2300 m high and pointed mountain on the southwest side of the Vinson massif in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . It rises 12.05 km southwest of Mount Vinson , 3.85 km west-southwest of Brichebor Peak , 3.12 km northwest of Hodges Knoll , 6.63 km northeast of Ichev Nunatak and 13.96 km southeast of Ereta Peak . Its southern slopes are partly not icy. The Nimitz Glacier is southwest and the Cairns Glacier is northeast of it.
American scientists mapped it in 1961 and 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the Soviet marine geologist Marija Wassiljewna Kljonowa (1898–1976), a participant in the 1st Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1955–1957) and thus the first scientist in Antarctica .
