Ivan Asen Point

Ivan Asen Point (Bulgarian: Нос Иван Асен, ‘Nos Ivan Asen’ \'nos i-'van a-'sen\) is a narrow rocky point projecting 680 m into Osmar Strait from the southeast coast of Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It forms the southwest side of the entrance to Ivan Asen Cove and the northeast side of the entrance to Yarebitsa Cove, and separates the glacier termini of Dragoman Glacier to the north and Armira Glacier to the south.

The point is named after Czar Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria, 1218-1241 AD.
