The Nikola Peak (English; Bulgarian връх Никола wrach Nikola ) is a 2550 m high, pointed and partly freezing mountain in the main ridge of the northern Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . It rises 3.6 km northeast of Mount Dalrymple , 2.26 km north of Malasar Peak and 2.48 km west-southwest of Duridanov Peak from a 9.15 km long mountain ridge that extends from Mount Dalrymple in an east-northeast direction to Robinson Pass extends. The Sabazios Glacier is north of it.
American scientists mapped it in 1961. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the Bulgarian rebel leader Djado Nikola (actually Nikola Filipowski, 1800–1856).
