Pavlov Peak

Pavlov Peak (64°3′S 61°58′W) is a peak lying north of Mount Vesalius on Liege Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. It surmounts Beripara Cove to the east, Pleystor Glacier to the southwest and Zbelsurd Glacier to the northwest.

The peak was shown on an Argentine government chart of 1954. It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Ivan P. Pavlov (1849–1936), Russian experimental physiologist noted for his work on conditioned reflexes.
