It is situated 2.38 km southwest of Neofit Peak, 5.4 km southwest of the summit Mount Foster, and 8.6 km northeast of Cape James. It overlooks Letnitsa Glacier to the south, and Gramada Glacier to the east. It was mapped by Bulgaria in 2009. The peak was named after the American missionary and linguist Elias Riggs (1810–1901) who contributed greatly to the Bulgarian National Revival, and organized the first translation, printing and dissemination of the Bible in modern Bulgarian language.
