The Sindel Point (English; Bulgarian нос Синдел nos Sindel ) is a 250 m long headland on the east coast of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It protrudes 2.9 km northeast of Sliven Peak and 5.6 km southwest of Edinburgh Hill into Moon Bay and separates the mouth of the Kaliakra Glacier in the north from that of the Struma Glacier in the south.
Bulgarian scientists mapped them when surveying the Tangra Mountains between 2004 and 2005 and again in 2009. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2009 after the village of Sindel in northeastern Bulgaria .
