The Mount Tsotsorkov (English; Bulgarian Цоцорков връх Zozorkow wrach ) is a rocky, partially icy, southern North-in alignment 7.6 km long, 3 km wide and 1600 m high mountain on the Oskar-II.-coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 11.15 km east-southeast of Mount Inverleith and 21 km northwest of Travnik Buttress from the northwestern foothills of the Forbidden Plateau . The Bagshawe Glacier is to the southwest, Andvord Bay with Lester Cove to the north of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1980. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the Bulgarian entrepreneur Lachesar Zozorkov († 2017) for his support of the Bulgarian Antarctic program.
