Kaloyan Nunatak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kaloyan Nunatak (pronounced ka-lo-'ya-nov 'nu-na-tak\) is a nunatak in the Tangra Mountains. It is named after Czar Kaloyan of Bulgaria, 1197-1207 AD.

Kaloyan Nunatak rises to approximately 400 m in Delchev Ridge, Tangra Mountains, on eastern Livingston Island. It is situated northeast of Sozopol Gap, 1.7 kilometers east-north-east of Elena Peak and 3.5 kilometers west-south-west of Renier Point. It surmounts Pautalia Glacier to the south, and Sopot Ice Piedmont to the west, north, and northeast.

It was mapped in 2005 from the Tangra 2004/05 topographic survey, and has since been registered in the SCAR Composite Antarctic Gazetteer.

Its coordinates are 62°37′26″S, 59°52′05″W.
