Ushlinova Peak

Ushlinova Peak (Bulgarian: връх Ушлинова, ‘Vrah Ushlinova’ \'vr&h ush-'li-no-va) is the sharp ice-covered peak of elevation 2150 m in the west foothills of Avery Plateau on Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It surmounts Widdowson Glacier to the west and a tributary to that glacier to the northeast.
