The Nedelya Point (English; Bulgarian нос Неделя nos Nedelja ) is a 380 m long, pointed, low and non-iced headland on the north coast of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is located 1.8 km southwest of Bilyar Point , 1.58 km northeast of Sparadok Point and 2.86 km east of Lair Point and separates Robbery Beaches on the Byers Peninsula in the west from Ivanov Beach in the northeast. The headland is connected to the Cutler Stack , which towers 310 m to the north-northeast, via a series of cliffs .
British scientists mapped them in 1968, Chilean ones in 1971, Argentine ones in 1980, Spanish ones in 1992 and Bulgarian ones in 2005 and 2009. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2006 after the Bulgarian educational scientist Nedelya Petkova (1826-1894).
