Rongel Point (Nos Rongel \'nos ron-'zhel\) is an ice-covered headland on the northwest coast of South Bay, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The area was visited by 19th century sealers operating from nearby Johnsons Dock.

The feature takes its name from nearby Rongel Reef named after the Brazilian Navy research vessel Ary Rongel, in recognition of her logistic support for the Bulgarian Antarctic campaigns.

Location

[edit]

Ary Rongel Point is located at 62°37′00″S 60°24′48″W / 62.61667°S 60.41333°W / -62.61667; -60.41333, which is 1.3 km northeast of Smolyan Point, 4 km west of Aleko Point and 3.5 km northwest of Hespérides Point. Bulgarian mapping from a topographic survey of the region made from 8 December 1995 to 8 February 1996; the coastal configuration in the area was altered subsequently as a result of Pimpirev Glacier's retreat in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
