The Diralo Point (English, Bulgarian нос Дирало nos Diralo ) is a rocky headland on the Oscar-II. coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . As the southeastern branch of the Metlichina Ridge , it forms the north side of the entrance to Borima Bay and is 9.9 km northwest of Kunino Point and 6.5 km north-northeast of Caution Point . The headland only became visible in 2002 when the Larsen Ice Shelf broke up and the Jorum Glacier subsequently retreated .
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2012 after the town of Diralo in southern Bulgaria .
