Pimpirev Beach

Pimpirev Beach (Bulgarian: Пимпирев бряг, romanized: Pimpirev bryag, IPA: [pimˈpirɛv ˈbrʲak]) is the portion of the northwest coast of South Bay, Livingston Island, Antarctica bounded to the southwest by Ereby Point and to the northeast by the north corner of the bay marked by an ice sea cave located 5.8 km east-northeast of Ereby Point and 1.45 km northwest of Aleko Point.

The shoreline, extending 6.5 km in a west-southwest to east-northeast direction, is formed by a narrow beach under the Pimpirev Glacier’s terminus; a number of minor disruptions occur with segments of the ice cap penetrating the sea.

The central portion of the coast is indented for 250 m by a nameless 710 m wide cove behind Rongel Reef.

The beach midpoint is located at 62°37′11″S 60°24′50″W / 62.61972°S 60.41389°W / -62.61972; -60.41389 (Detailed Spanish mapping in 1991, Bulgarian remapping in 1996, 2005 and 2009 of the coastal configuration modified by recent glacier retreat).
