The Rasnik Peak (English, Bulgarian връх Расник wrach Rasnik ) is an acute, sometimes icy and 900 m high mountain at the Graham Coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . At the southwestern end of Chiren Heights on the Velingrad Peninsula, it rises 17 km east of Lens Peak , 6.75 km southeast of Coblentz Peak and 9.9 km north of Ezerets Knoll . Its steep north-west and south-east slopes are partially free of ice. The Hugi and Caulfeild glaciers lie to the south and Holtedahl Bay to the west.
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2015 after the town of Rasnik in western Bulgaria .
