The Radichkov Peak (English; Bulgarian Радишков връх Raditschkow wrach ) is a 500 m high mountain on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In the Levski Ridge of the Tangra Mountains, it rises 2.25 km southeast of Great Needle Peak , 2.8 km south of Helmet Peak , 3.15 km south-southwest of Plovdiv Peak and 1.5 km north-northwest of M'Kean Point . The Srebarna Glacier lies to the southwest and the Magura Glacier to the northeast of it. Its eastern slopes are steep and free of ice.
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2004 after the Bulgarian writer Jordan Radichkov (1929-2004).
