Bruguière Peak

Bruguière Peak (Bulgarian: връх Брюгиер, romanized: vrah Bruguière, IPA: [ˈvrɤɣ brʲoɡiˈɛr]) is the sharp rocky peak rising to 2,722 m (8,930 ft) near the end of the side ridge that trends 9.15 km (5.69 mi) northeastwards from Mount Giovinetto on the main crest of north-central Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It surmounts Rumyana Glacier to the southeast and Delyo Glacier to the northwest.

The peak is named after the French zoologist Jean Guillaume Bruguière (1750-1798) who sailed with Yves-Joseph de Kerguelen-Trémarec to Kerguelen Islands in 1772, becoming the first scientist after Edmund Halley to visit the Antarctic region.
