Opalchenie Peak

Opalchenie Peak is a 4,507-metre mountain at the southern extremity of the ice-covered Vinson Plateau in Antarctica's Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains. It has low topographic prominence and a partly ice-free summit and south slopes. Two parallel ridges descend southwest, with Donnellan Glacier between them. The northern ridge was climbed to the summit plateau in November 1992 and later used for a route to Mount Vinson. The peak is named for Bulgarian volunteer forces.
