The Nusha Hill (English; Bulgarian Нушин хълм Nuschi chalm ) is a 251 m high and rocky hill on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It rises 1.5 km northeast of Binn Peak , 0.4 km south of Doc Peak , 0.45 km south-southwest of Castro Peak and 4.51 km west-northwest of Canetti Peak in the south of the Hurd Peninsula . It is connected to Doc Peak via a 200 m high saddle . Its east, south and west slopes are particularly striking. A rock glacier lies to the southwest, False Bay to the east and Glaciar Rocoso Cove to the south-southwest of it.
Spanish scientists mapped it in 1991. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2011 after Nuscha Iwanowa (* 1986), who was involved in Bulgarian Antarctic campaigns between 2002 and 2003 and from 2010 to 2011.
