The Mishev Peak (English; Bulgarian Мишев връх Mischew wrach ) is an approximately 600 m high and icy mountain on Liège Island in the Palmer Archipelago off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 1.42 km west of Pavlov Peak , 2.34 km east to north of Polezhan Point and 1.93 km east-southeast of Disilitsa Point . Its south-western slopes, some of which are not icy, are striking. The Sbelsurd glacier is north and the Plejstor glacier is south of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after Emil Mischew, geologist at the St. Kliment-Ohridski station on Livingston Island in several campaigns from 2004 and head of the station between 2006 and 2007.
