The St. Kiprian Peak (English; Bulgarian връх Св. Киприан wrach Sw. Kiprian ) is a 280 m high and rocky mountain on Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It rises 1.4 km east of Vratsa Peak , 1.3 km south of Ilarion Ridge , 1.2 km west of Fort Point and 0.7 km northeast of Kormesiy Peak in the Breznik Heights . The Mussala Glacier is north of it.
Bulgarian scientists mapped it in the course of surveying the Tangra Mountains on the neighboring Livingston Island between 2004 and 2005. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2006 after Metropolitan Kiprian (1330-1406), saint of the Russian Orthodox Church .
