The Opizo Peak (English, Bulgarian връх Опизо wrach Opiso ) is a 1100 m high and mostly icy mountain on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . On the western foothills of Avroleva Heights, it rises 5.84 km southwest of Petroff Point , 3.2 km west to north of Mount Ghiuselev and 11.5 km northeast of Mount Parry . Its steep north-north-east slopes are partly not icy. The Mitew Glacier lies to the northeast, the Swetowratschene Glacier to the south and the Doriones Saddle to the west-southwest of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1980 and 2008. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2015 after the Roman camp of Opiso in southern Bulgaria .
