Modev Peak (Bulgarian: Модев връх, romanized: Modev vrah, IPA: [ˈmɔdɛv ˈvrɤx]) is the mostly ice-covered peak rising to 665 m[1] on Two Hummock Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. The feature has precipitous and partly ice-free northwest slopes, and overlooks Urania Cove on the west and Kotev Cove on the north. It is one of the two ‘hummocks’ that named the island.
The peak is named after Stanimir Modev, a mechanic at St. Kliment Ohridski base in 2002/03 and subsequent seasons.
