**Levenov Point** (Bulgarian: Левенов нос, ‘Levenov Nos’ \le-'ve-nov 'nos\) is the rock-tipped point on the northeast coast of [Pasteur Peninsula](/source/Pasteur_Peninsula) on [Brabant Island](/source/Brabant_Island) in the [Palmer Archipelago](/source/Palmer_Archipelago), [Antarctica](/source/Antarctica), formed by an offshoot of [Röntgen Peak](/source/R%C3%B6ntgen_Peak).

The point is named after Captain Nikola Levenov (1941-2007), commander of the Bulgarian ocean [fishing trawler](/source/Fishing_trawler) *Burevestnik* that operated in [Antarctic](/source/Antarctic) waters off [Kerguelen Islands](/source/Kerguelen_Islands) from December 1974 to February 1975, and of the fishing trawler *Ofelia* in [South Georgia](/source/South_Georgia_Island) waters during its fishing trip from September 1977 to April 1978. The Bulgarian fishermen of the company [Ocean Fisheries – Burgas](/source/Ocean_Fisheries_%E2%80%93_Burgas), along with those of the [Soviet Union](/source/Soviet_Union), [Poland](/source/Poland) and [East Germany](/source/East_Germany) are the pioneers of modern Antarctic [fishing industry](/source/Fishing_industry).”[1]
