The Satovcha Peak (English; Bulgarian връх Сатовча wrach Satowtscha ) is a 1400 m high and mostly icy mountain in the Havre Mountains in the north of the Alexander I Island west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 14.88 km east-southeast of Cape Vostok , 5.6 km south-southeast of Boyn Ridge , 13.23 km west to north of Mount Newman and 7.73 km northwest of Igralishte Peak . The Bongrain-Piedmont Glacier is northeast and the Lennon Glacier is southwest of it. Its partly ice-free southern slopes are striking.
British scientists mapped it in 1971. The Bulgarian geologists Christo Pimperew and Borislaw Kamenow visited the area around the mountain on January 4, 1988 together with Philip Nell and Peter Marquis from the British Antarctic Survey . The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2017 after the town of Satovtscha in southwestern Bulgaria .
