The Zahariev peak (English; Bulgarian Захариев връх Sachariew wrach ) is a rocky, partially unvereister and 650 m high mountain on the Oskar-II.-coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 3.9 km south of St. Angelariy Peak , 2.58 km northwest of Chapanov Peak and 5.45 km east-northeast of Jordanow Nunatak in the Metlichina Ridge . The Punchbowl Glacier is located northeast and the Borima Bay southwest of him.
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2012 after the meteorologist Wasil Sakhariev (1929-2006), who worked at the Soviet Mirny Station between 1967 and 1969 .
