Avitohol Point

Avitohol Point (Bulgarian: нос Авитохол, romanized: nos Avitohol, IPA: [ˈnɔs ɐvitoˈxɔɫ]) is a point on the north coast of Livingston Island, Antarctica projecting 1.15 km (0.71 mi) into Hero Bay to form the west side of the entrance to Skravena Cove and the southeast side of the entrance to Prisoe Cove. It is surmounted by Fletcher Nunatak and Belev Nunatak. The point is named after the legendary Khan Avitohol listed in the 8th Century Nominalia of the Bulgarian Khans, who laid the foundations of the Bulgarian statehood in Europe in 165 AD.
