Smolyan Point

Smolyan Point (Nos Smolyan \'nos 'smo-lyan\) is located on the north-western coast of South Bay, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica forming the northwest side of the entrance to Emona Anchorage.

The ice-covered point shows conspicuous radial crevasses spreading inland and ends up with a 25 m wide and 4 m high rock.

The feature was formed as a result of Pimpirev Glacier's retreat in the late 20th century.

Smolyan is the name of a town in the Rhodope Mountains in southern Bulgaria.
