The peak overlooks Srebarna Glacier to the SW and Magura Glacier to the NE and has steep and ice-free eastern slopes. An offshoot extending 900 m in S direction ends up in Kalofer Peak, forming M’Kean Point to the SE.

The peak is named after the prominent Bulgarian writer Yordan Radichkov (1929-2004).
