Mount Radotina

Location of Graham Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Mount Radotina (Bulgarian: връх Радотина, ‘Vrah Radotina’ \'vr&h 'ra-do-ti-na\) is the rounded ice-covered peak rising to 1300 m in the west foothills of Bruce Plateau on Graham Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica.

The mountain is named after the settlement of Radotina in Western Bulgaria.
