The Goleminov Point (English; Bulgarian Големинов нос Goleminow nos ) is a 0.4 km long headland on the northwest coast of Alexander I Island off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located 6.17 km southeast of Kamhi Point , 24.9 km southeast of Cape Wostok and 6 km northwest of Dint Island . The headland protrudes southeast of the mouth of the Manolow Glacier in a westerly direction into the Lasarew Bay .
