Meana Point

Meana Point (Bulgarian: нос Меана, romanized: nos Meana, IPA: [ˈnɔs mɛˈanɐ]) is the ice covered west entrance point of Quesada Cove on the north coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

It is formed as a result of the retreat of Nelson Island's ice cap in the last decade of 20th century.

[2] The feature is named after Elias Meana Díaz, member of the Spanish team that built Juan Carlos I base in January 1988 and first commander of that base during the 1988/89 austral summer season, for his support for the Bulgarian Antarctic programme.
