Ten more geographical places in Antarctica receive Bulgarian names

Photo: Archive

As an active participant in the research of Antarctica, Bulgaria is among the countries that give new names to geographical objects on the Ice Continent. They have already exceeded 1,400, and among the new ones are the names of the bays Big and Small Sechko (as the Bulgarians call the months of January and February), as well as the beach Baba Marta (Grandma March). 

In the name of Gen. Kliment Boyadzhiev, commander of the First Bulgarian Army during the First World War, a sea cape has been named. A section of the coastline is named after Anka Lambreva, the first Bulgarian woman to fly over the English Channel and the first Bulgarian traveller around the world. 
The proposals were approved last year by the Commission for Naming Sites of National Importance to the Bulgarian Head of State.
