The Pesyakov Hill (English; Bulgarian Песяков хълм Pesjakwo chalm ) is a 36 m high hill on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It rises immediately to the south-south-west of the St. Kliment-Ohridski station on Bulgarian Beach, built in 1988, at a distance of 490 m north-east of Cape Hespérides and 270 m south-west of Sinemorets Hill . The Grand Lagoon is to the west and southwest of it. Access to the mound is restricted to protect local plant communities.
Spanish scientists mapped it in 1991, Bulgarian in 1996. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2010 after Feliks Pesjakow, captain of the Soviet research vessel Michail Somow for logistical support for the construction of the St. Kliment-Ohridski station.
