The Avitohol Point (English; Bulgarian нос Авитохол nos Awitochol ; in the United Kingdom Crampton Point ) is a 700 m long headland on the north coast of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is located 3 km northeast of Snow Peak , 9.6 km west-southwest of Siddons Point and 14.6 km southeast of Cape Shirreff on the banks of Hero Bay and separates Prisoe Cove in the north-west from Skravena Cove in the south-east.

The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2005 after Avitochol , the first named in the Bulgarian princely line . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 2019 after the New Zealand paleontologist James Crampton of the Victoria University of Wellington , who worked on the Byers Peninsula from 1990 to 1991 in collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey .
