Bounded by Micalvi Cove to the northwest, and Bransfield Strait to the southeast. Its extremity Edwards Point is forming the east side of the south entrance to English Strait and the southwest side of the entrance to Devesil Bight. The southwest half — ca. 121 hectares (300 acres)[1] — is snow-free in summer. British mapping in 1968, and Bulgarian in 2005 and 2009. Named after the town of Kermen in southeastern Bulgaria.

gollark: It *does* probably go against TJ09's **Grand Vision**...
gollark: I'm amazed it works at all.

gollark: Without API access, going over everything on the scroll is *annoying*. The only reason I can process eggs at all is because I spent ages on some regexes.
