The Kaspichan Point (English; Bulgarian нос Каспичан nos Kaspichan ) is a headland on the southwest coast of Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is located immediately west of Hebrizelm Hill , 1.3 km west-northwest of Triangle Point , 2 km south-southwest of Tile Ridge and 2 km southeast of Yovkov Point . The headland marks the southeast boundary of the entrance to Kramolin Cove .

Bulgarian scientists mapped it between 2004 and 2005 while surveying the Tangra Mountains on neighboring Livingston Island . The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2006 after the city of Kaspichan in northeastern Bulgaria .
