The Albatros Point (English; Bulgarian нос Албатрос nos Albatros ) is a 600 m long, mostly icy and rocky headland on the north coast of Trinity Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It forms 5.35 km southeast of Cape Wollaston , 6.8 km west of Cape Neumayer and 5.7 km northeast of Consecuencia Point the eastern limit of the entrance to Lorna Cove .

British scientists mapped them in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2018 after the Bulgarian trawler Albatros , who fishing in the waters around South Georgia , the Kerguelen , the South Orkney Islands and around from the 1970s to the early 1990s was operating in the South Shetland Islands.
