Chavdar Peninsula
Chavdar Peninsula (64°05′25″S 60°52′45″W / 64.09028°S 60.87917°W) is a 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) wide peninsula projecting 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) in northwest direction from Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula in Antarctica.
Chavdar Peninsula lies on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is bounded by Curtiss Bay to the northeast, Hughes Bay to the southwest and Gerlache Strait to the northwest. Its west extremity Cape Sterneck separates Danco Coast to the southwest and Davis Coast to the northeast.
Chavdar Peninsula is named for the 16th-century Bulgarian rebel leader Chavdar Voyvoda.
Features and nearby features include:
64°04′S 61°02′W / 64.067°S 61.033°W. A bold, black cliff on a projecting point of land forming the north side of the entrance to Hughes Bay. In 1898, the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (BelgAE) under Lieutenant Adrien de Gerlache explored this area and named this cape for the German geophysicist Robert von Sterneck whose apparatus was used on the expedition. The cape is called Cape Herschel by the British, after Sir John Herschel (1792-1871), British astronomer and member of the Royal Society Committee which prepared instructions for the voyage of Foster's ship HMS Chanticleer, 1828-31.
64°01′S 60°57′W / 64.017°S 60.950°W. A group of rocks lying 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) northeast of Cape Sterneck in the entrance to Curtiss Bay, northern Graham Land. Roughly charted and given this descriptive name by James Hoseason, First Mate of the sealer Sprightly in 1824.
64°05′S 61°18′W / 64.083°S 61.300°W. A rock lying in Gerlache Strait, 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) west-southwest of Cape Sterneck. Named by the BelgAE (1897–99) under Lieutenant Adrien de Gerlache for Argentine scientist and statesman Francisco Moreno.
64°04′50″S 60°55′00″W / 64.08056°S 60.91667°W An ice cap covering the western half of Chavdar Peninsula. Situated west of Samodiva Glacier, and extending 7.7 kilometres (4.8 mi) in E-W direction and 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) in N-S direction. Draining both northwards into Curtiss Bay and southwards into Hughes Bay. British mapping in 1978. Named after the peak of Tumba in Belasitsa Mountain, Southwestern Bulgaria.
