The Passy Peak (English; Bulgarian връх Паси wrach Pasi ) is a 510 m high and prominent mountain on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In Vidin Heights, it rises 1.4 km northeast of Miziya Peak , 8.6 km south of Williams Point , 1.6 km west-northwest of Madara Peak and 0.35 km northeast of Krichim Peak .
Bulgarian scientists mapped it in the course of surveying the Tangra Mountains between 2004 and 2005. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2005 after the Bulgarian politician Solomon Pasi (* 1953) and his role in the organization of Bulgarian Antarctic campaigns for the renewal of the St. Kliment-Ohridski station between 1993 and 1996.
