The Spoluka Point (English, Bulgarian нос Сполука nos Spoluka ) is an ice-covered headland at the Nordenskjöld Coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It is 6.9 km southwest of Fothergill Point and 4.35 km north of Cape Worsley on the southwest side of the entrance to Odrin Bay . It only became visible with the retreat of the glacier, which contains the Arrol Icefall , at the beginning of the 21st century .
British scientists mapped them as early as 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2013 after the town of Spoluka in southern Bulgaria .
