The Aleko skirt ( Bulgarian Нос Алеко Nos Aleko ) is a rock cape on the northeast coast of South Bay and 2 km north of Spanish Point in the south of the South Shetland Islands belonging Livingston Island .
Participants of the Third Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition (1994-1995) named the cape after a peak in the Rila Mountains and a place in the Vitosha Mountains , both of which are reminiscent of the Bulgarian writer Aleko Konstantinow (1863-1897).
