Dymcoff Crag (Bulgarian: Димков камък, ‘Dymcoff Kamak’ \'dim-kov 'ka-m&k\) is the rocky, partly ice-free peak rising to 1360 m in Lovech Heights on Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land. It surmounts Rogosh Glacier to the west and south. The feature is named after the Bulgarian engineer Nicolas Dymcoff (1861-1937), whose project ‘Étoile de la Concorde’ published in 1917 envisaged the establishment of a world organization for the preservation of peace and fostering cooperation among nations.
