Hadzhi Dimitar Peak

Location of Loubet Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Hadzhi Dimitar Peak ([връх Хаджи Димитър] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help), ‘Vrah Hadzhi Dimitar’ \'vr&h ha-'dzhi di-'mi-tar\) is the mostly ice-covered peak of elevation 2000 m 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.

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.
