Kalina Point

Location of Oscar II Coast on Antarctic Peninsula.

Kalina Point (Bulgarian: нос Калина, ‘Nos Kalina’ \'nos ka-'li-na\) is the rocky point on the south side of the entrance to Domlyan Bay on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land. It is situated at the east extremity of Parlichev Ridge, and was formed as a result of the break-up of Larsen Ice Shelf in the area, and the retreat of Melville Glacier in the early 21st century. The feature is named after the settlements of Kalina in Northwestern and Northeastern Bulgaria.
