The Sevtopolis Peak (English, Bulgarian връх Севтополис wrach Sewtopolis ) is a 300 m high and icy mountain on Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In the Dryanovo Heights it rises 3.2 km west-southwest of Mount Plymouth , 3.3 km southeast of the Crutch Peaks and 2.5 km north of Lloyd Hill .
Bulgarian scientists mapped it when surveying the Tangra Mountains on neighboring Livingston Island between 2004 and 2005. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2005 after the ancient city of Seuthopolis , which is now west of the city of Kazanlak in Bulgaria .
