'''Smolyan Point''' (Nos Smolyan \'nos 'smo-lyan\) is located on the north-western coast of [South Bay](/source/South_Bay%2C_Livingston_Island), [Livingston Island](/source/Livingston_Island) in the [South Shetland Islands](/source/South_Shetland_Islands), [Antarctica](/source/Antarctica) forming the northwest side of the entrance to [Emona Anchorage](/source/Emona_Anchorage). The ice-covered point shows conspicuous radial crevasses spreading inland and ends up with a 25 m wide and 4 m high rock.  The feature was formed as a result of [Pimpirev Glacier](/source/Pimpirev_Glacier)'s retreat in the late 20th century.
