Vaptsarov Peak
Vaptsarov Peak (, ) rises to approximately 410 m in Delchev Ridge, Tangra Mountains, eastern Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.  The peak has steep and ice free western slopes, and surmounts Ihtiman Hook to the northwest and Sopot Ice Piedmont to the east, north and west.

The peak is named after the famous Bulgarian poet Nikola Vaptsarov (1909–42).

Location
The peak is located at , which is 1.21 km north of Elena Peak, 620 m north-northwest of Paisiy Peak, 960 m northeast of Rodopi Peak, 5.07 km west by south of Renier Point, 1.92 km west of Besapara Hill and 2.01 km west by north of Kaloyan Nunatak (Bulgarian mapping in 2005 and 2009).

Vaptsarov Peak in popular culture
The cover of the VA album Under Heaven: Vinson Massif (2010) actually features a photo not of Vinson Massif but of eastern Tangra Mountains instead, with Mugla Passage and Vaptsarov Peak in the foreground, and Elena Peak (left) and Delchev Peak (right) in the background.  Both the picture and the misidentification may have possibly originated in the ‘Vinson Massif’ entry of the ‘Seven Summits Quest’ website.
