The Aprilov Point (English; Bulgarian Априлов нос Aprilow nos ) is a headland on the north coast of Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is 6.9 km east of Duff Point , 2.1 km east-southeast of Kabile Island , 2.2 km east-northeast of the Crutch Peaks , 1.8 km south of Ongley Island , 5.5 km west of Agüedo Point and 2.3 km northwest of Sevtopolis Peak and forms the east side of the entrance to Haskovo Cove .
