The Stancheva Peak (English, Bulgarian връх Станчева wrach Stantschewa ) is an icy and 850 m high mountain on the Foyn coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It forms 4.6 km south of Vologes Ridge , 6.68 km west-southwest of Mount Mecheva and 5.05 km northwest of Chuypetlovo Knoll, the western foothills of Bigla Ridge . The Sleipnir Glacier lies to the north, the Beagle Hole Glacier south of him. Its north-west, south-east and south-west slopes are particularly striking.
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after Kamelija Stancheva, who was involved in a campaign for the Bulgarian Antarctic Program between 1996 and 1997.
