Sabin Point

Sabin Point (Bulgarian: нос Сабин, romanized: nos Sabin, IPA: [ˈnɔs sɐˈbin]) is the ice-covered, rock-tipped northeast entrance point of Golyam Sechko Cove projecting 250 m from the northwest coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

The feature is named after the Bulgarian ruler Khan Sabin, 768-777 AD, in association with other Bulgarian historical names in the area.
