Mikov Nunatak

Mikov Nunatak (Bulgarian: Миков нунатак, romanized: Mikov nunatak, IPA: [ˈmikof ˈnunɐtak]) is the rocky ridge 1.35 km long in northwest–southeast direction and 590 m wide, rising to 750 m in the upper course of Zaychar Glacier and linked on the northwest to Detroit Plateau on Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica.[1]

Location of Nordenskjöld Coast on Antarctic Peninsula

The feature is named after Miki Mikov, radio engineer at St. Kliment Ohridski base during the 1994/95 Bulgarian Antarctic campaign, which set the longterm directions of the Bulgarian Antarctic research.[1]

Location

Mikov Nunatak is located at 64°30′39.4″S 60°24′21″W, which is 2.47 km southwest of Batkun Peak in Grivitsa Ridge and 1.73 km north of the summit of Kableshkov Ridge. British mapping in 1978.

gollark: Quite a lot of the time I don't care a massive amount about performance, as long as my thing isn't horrendously slow, because it's serving not very much traffic on a server with quite a lot of free resources.
gollark: Well, it is harder to have to semi-manually manage memory than to have it garbage collected, and it has issues like being stuck in the middle of moving to asynchronous code right now.
gollark: (praise Rust™, although I still find it somewhat harder to write stuff in than JS or whatever so I only use it for my more perf-sensitive projects)
gollark: Like Rust's `Option`, which is optimized to use null pointers or something, meaning it's basically only a compile-time performance cost.
gollark: There are *low-cost* ones.
