Kuzov Nunatak
Kuzov Nunatak (Bulgarian: Кузов нунатак, romanized: Kuzov Nunatak, IPA: [ˈkuzof ˈnunɐtak]) is the partly ice-free rocky ridge 2.6 km long in north–south direction, 550 m wide and rising to 590 m[1] on the southwest side of Zagreus Ridge on the Oscar II Coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It surmounts Green Glacier on the south.[2]
The feature is named after Milan Kuzov (1953–2019), longtime TV director with the Bulgarian National Television and co-founder of the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute, for his contribution to the promotion of Antarctica and support for the Bulgarian Antarctic programme.[2]
