The Gostilya Point ( English , Bulgarian нос Гостиля nos Gostilja ; in the UK Poncet Point ) is a headland at the Loubet coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It marks 25.85 km east of Madell Point , 20.6 km south of Phantom Point and 2.55 km southwest of Kudelin Point, the southwest side of the entrance to Tlachene Cove , a side bay of Darbel Bay . It was exposed when the Hopkins Glacier retreated in the 1980s and 1990s.

British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the town of Gostilja in northwestern Bulgaria . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 2016 after Jérôme Poncet (* 1946), a pioneer of yacht tourism in Antarctica since 1973.
