The Lebed Point (English; Bulgarian Нос Лебед Nos Lebed ) is a rocky headland on the east coast of Clarence Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is 8.1 km north-northeast of Cape Bowles and 3.2 km south of Sugarloaf Island on the south side of the entrance to Istros Bay .
British scientists mapped them in 1972 and 2009. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2014 after the town of Lebed in southern Bulgaria and after a trawler of the same name that operated between 1970 and 1971 in Antarctic waters and those around South Georgia .
