Ushlinova Peak

Ushlinova Peak (Bulgarian: връх Ушлинова, romanized: vrah Ushlinova, IPA: [ˈvrɤx oʃˈlinovɐ]) is the sharp ice-covered peak of elevation 2130 m in the west foothills of Avery Plateau on Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It surmounts Widdowson Glacier to the west and a tributary to that glacier to the northeast.

The peak is named after Donka Ushlinova (1880–1937), a participant in the Bulgarian liberation movement in Macedonia, much decorated for her bravery in the 1912–1918 wars of national unification.
