Karia Peak

Karia Peak (Bulgarian: връх Кария, ‘Vrah Karia’ \'vr&h 'ka-ri-ya) is the rounded ice-covered peak rising to 1650 m in the west foothills of Bruce Plateau on Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free west and south slopes, and surmounts Erskine Glacier to the south and a tributary to that glacier to the west and north.
