Baklan Point

Baklan Point (нос Баклан, ‘Nos Baklan’ \'nos ba-'klan\) is the rocky east entrance point of Argonavt Cove on the north coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica projecting 450 m northwards. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

The point is “named after the ocean fishing trawler Baklan of the Bulgarian company Ocean Fisheries – Burgas whose ships operated in the waters of South Georgia, Kerguelen, the South Orkney Islands, South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula from 1970 to the early 1990s. The Bulgarian fishermen, along with those of the Soviet Union, Poland and East Germany are the pioneers of modern Antarctic fishing industry.”
