Pip Ivan, Mountain summit in Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine

The Pip Ivan summit rises to 1938 meters in the Marmarosh Mountains, featuring three distinct peaks and postglacial corries on the northeastern side.

Between 1936 and 1938, workers transported 800 tons of materials to construct an astronomical and meteorological observatory at the mountain's peak.

The name Pip Ivan dates back three centuries, with linguistic studies suggesting its origin from local interpretations of wind sounds at the summit.

Climbers need authorization from authorities to access the Ukrainian side of Pip Ivan, with common starting points in Dilove, Ukraine, and Repedea, Romania.

The mountain contains formations from the Jurassic period and consists primarily of gneiss, a Precambrian rock that distinguishes it from other peaks.
