Trifonov Point

Location of Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands

Trifonov Point (Bulgarian: Трифонов нос, ‘Trifonov Nos’ \'tri-fo-nov 'nos\) is the rocky northeast entrance point of Zlatni Pyasatsi Cove on the southeast coast of Elephant Island, South Shetland Islands in Antarctica. The feature is “named after Captain Hristo Trifonov, commander of the Bulgarian ocean fishing trawlers Rotalia and Aktinia during their fishing trips to Antarctic waters off South Georgia from December 1983 to August 1984 and from December 1984 to July 1985 respectively. The Bulgarian fishermen, along with those of the Soviet Union, Poland and East Germany are the pioneers of modern Antarctic fishing industry.”[1]
