The Kamhi Point (English; Bulgarian нос Камхи nos Kamchi ) is a 0.45 km long headland on the northwest coast of Alexander I Island off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located 19.17 km southeast of Cape Vostok , 8.8 km southeast of Buneva Point , 6.17 km northwest of Goleminov Point and 1 km northeast of Umber Island . The headland protrudes immediately south of the mouth of the Osselna Glacier in a westerly direction into the Lasarev Bay .

British scientists mapped them in 1991. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2017 after Rafael Moshe Kamchi (1870–1970), a liaison officer of the Macedonian Inner Revolutionary Organization .
