Kudelin Point

Location of Loubet Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Kudelin Point (Bulgarian: нос Куделин, ‘Nos Kudelin’ \'nos ku-de-'lin\) is the point on the northeast side of the entrance to Tlachene Cove on Loubet Coast, Antarctic Peninsula. The point is formed by an offshoot of Gaydari Peak, and was shaped as a result of the retreat of Hopkins Glacier during the last two decades of the 20th century.

The feature is named after the settlement of Kudelin in Northwestern Bulgaria.
