Buache Peak

Buache Peak (Bulgarian: връх Бюаш, ‘Vrah Buache’ \'vr&h byu-'ash\) is the mostly ice-covered peak rising to 600 m on Two Hummock Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. The feature has precipitous and partly ice-free west-northwest slopes, and is one of the two ‘hummocks’ that gave the name of the island.
