Hadzhi Dimitar Peak

Hadzhi Dimitar Peak (Bulgarian: връх Хаджи Димитър, romanized: vrah Hadzhi Dimitar, IPA: [ˈvrɤx xɐˈd͡ʒi diˈmitɐr]) is the mostly ice-covered peak of elevation 2088 m[1] in the west foothills of Avery Plateau on Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free west and east slopes, and surmounts Hopkins Glacier to the west and north, and a tributary to that glacier to the southwest.

Location of Loubet Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

The peak is named after Hadzhi Dimitar (Dimitar Asenov, 1840–1868), a leader of the Bulgarian liberation movement, in connection with the settlement of Hadzhi Dimitar in Northeastern Bulgaria.
