The Elemag Point (English; Bulgarian нос Елемаг nos Elemag ) is a headland on the east coast of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It protrudes 6.75 km south-southwest of Edinburgh Hill , 1.76 km southeast of Sindel Point , 3.05 km east of Sliven Peak , 2.05 km northeast of Zlatograd Rock and 5.57 km northwest of Rila Point in Moon Bay inside. It was uncovered in the course of the retreat of glacier ice in the area towards the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century .

Bulgarian scientists mapped them when surveying the Tangra Mountains between 2004 and 2005. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2006 after Elemag , administrator of the region around the city of Berat, which now belongs to Albania, at the time of the Bulgarian tsars Samuil , Gawril Radomir and Iwan Vladislav between the 10th and 11th centuries .
