Krum Rock

Krum Rock

Krum Rock ( _bg. Krumov Kamak 'kru-mov 'ka-m&k) is a small nunatak rising to 208 metres on the southwest edge of Balkan Snowfield just north of Contell Glacier on eastern Livingston Island, one of the South Shetland Islands in Western Antarctica. The rock projects slightly above the ice sheet with some 3,000 square metres of rocky ground exposed on its northern slope in summer. Because of its location rather than prominence, it is a particularly important landmark in the course of field work carried out in the area.

Location

The nunatak is located at coord|62|38|53|S|60|20|43|W| which is 1 km E of Atlantic Club Ridge, 1,220 m SE of Sinemorets Hill, 2,740 m W by N of Castillo Nunatak, and 950 m N by E of the highest point of Charrúa Ridge.

Krum Rock is named for Krum Velchev, meteorologist at St. Kliment Ohridski Base for several seasons since 1993. The name form "Krumov Kamak" was well established in use at the time of approval.
