释义 |
Elena Peak (Vrah Elena \\'vr&h e-'le-na\\) is a 700 m peak in Delchev Ridge, Tangra Mountains on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands. The peak surmounts Sopot Ice Piedmont to the north and Strandzha Glacierto the south, and was named after the Bulgarian town of Elena. The east slopes of Elena Peak and the north side of Delchev Ridge towards Renier Point, together with the adjacent portion of Sopot Ice Piedmont are a popular site for backcountry skiing and climbing, with skiers landed by Zodiac rigid inflatable boats from cruise ships visiting the Half Moon Island area.[1][2] LocationThe peak is located at {{coord|62|37|50.3|S|59|53|41|W|display=inline,title}} which is 2.29 km east-northeast of Delchev Peak and 5.13 km west-southwest of Renier Point. Elena Peak in popular cultureThe cover of the VA album Under Heaven: Vinson Massif (2010) actually features a photo not of Vinson Massif but of Delchev Ridge instead, with Mugla Passage and Vaptsarov Peak in the foreground, and (left to right) Elena Peak and Delchev Peak in the background.[3] Both the picture and the misidentification may have possibly originated in the ‘Vinson Massif’ entry of the ‘Seven Summits Quest’ website.[4] Maps
