In the Ukrainian Carpathians, there are two peaks named Pip Ivan. One of them is located in Ukraine’s highest and most popular mountain range, Chornohora, hence the peak’s name, Pip Ivan Chornohora (2,028 m), or Pipivan, or Black Mountain. It is the third-highest peak in the Carpathians and the easternmost of the six two-thousanders. Its significantly lower namesake, Pip Ivan Marmaroshsky (1,936 m), is located in the Marmarosy mountain range.

The mountain is located in the southeastern part of the mountain range, on the border of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast and Zakarpattia Oblast. Mount Pip Ivan Chornohora on Google Maps. Photos by: Alexander Kotenko.
