Antim Peak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antim Peak (Bulgarian: Връх Антим, ‘Vrah Antim’ \'vr&h an-'tim\) ( ) is the peak rising to 2100 m in Imeon Range on Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Situated respectively 2.4 km and 850 m northeast of the two heights of the summit Mount Foster, 3.4 km south-southwest of Mount Pisgah, 16 km southwest of Cape Smith, and 16 km northeast of Cape James. Precipitous and partly ice-free southeast slopes. Confirmed to be a separate peak rather than part of Mount Foster by the team of Greg Landreth that made the first ascent of the latter in 1996.
The peak is named after Exarch Antim I (1816-1888), the first head of the Bulgarian Exarchate reestablishing the autocephaly of the Bulgarian Church in 1870.
