Skafida Peak

Skafida Peak (Bulgarian: връх Скафида, ‘Vrah Skafida’ \'vr&h ska-'fi-da) is the peak rising to 2100 m near the north end of the main ridge of Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free east and south slopes, and surmounts Newcomer Glacier to the east. The peak is named after the medieval fortress of Skafida in Southeastern Bulgaria.
