Belev Nunatak (Bulgarian: Белев нунатак, romanized: Belev nunatak, IPA: ['bɛlɛv 'nunɐtak]) is the hill rising to 58 m[1] on the small peninsula ending in Avitohol Point on the north coast of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It has a partly ice-free area of 0.25 ha extending 80 m in west–east direction and 60 m in south–north direction. The nunatak surmounts Hero Bay on the northeast, and is part of the glacial divide between Tundzha Glacier on the southeast and Berkovitsa Glacier on the west. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.[2]
The feature is named after Krasimir Belev, builder at the Bulgarian base St. Kliment Ohridski in 1995/96 and subsequent seasons, and participant in the first topographic survey of the base area from 31 January to 4 February 1996.
