Emona Anchorage
Emona Anchorage (Zaliv Emona \'za-liv e-'mo-na\) is a roughly square embayment, the internal part of South Bay, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica used as an anchorage for ships visiting the Bulgarian base St. Kliment Ohridski.
Emona is the name of a village and, in the version of Emine, a nearby cape on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast.
The feature is centred at 62°37′35″S 60°22′20″W / 62.62639°S 60.37222°WCoordinates: 62°37′35″S 60°22′20″W / 62.62639°S 60.37222°W.
Entered between Hespérides Point and Smolyan Point, the bay is over 100 m deep at its central portion northwest by north of Spanish Point. Northeast of Smolyan Point, a nameless 710 m wide cove is indenting for 250 m behind Rongel Reef, with a shoal east of that cape, and a small awash islet 550 m due northeast of it. Rongel Point forms the east-northeast side of that cove’s entrance. The remaining northwest coast of Emona Anchorage is, with several minor disruptions, a narrow beach under the ice-cap cliff, with Pimpirev Ice Wall, an ice form in Pimpirev Glacier running parallelly some 100 m inland. That section of the coast is 2.15 km long, featuring a single minor point lying 3.51 km north of Hespérides Point and 1.97 km west-northwest of Aleko Point. An ice sea cave located 870 m east-northeast of that point and 1.45 km northwest of Aleko Point marks the beach end and the north corner of the bay. The northeast coast except for Aleko Point is formed by Perunika Glacier's snout, while Bulgarian Beach accounts for most of the southeast coast, featuring Vergilov Rocks 100 m offshore. The Emona Anchorage beaches and drifting sea ice are favoured by a fairly small number of penguins and seals, usually comprising chinstrap, gentoo and Adelie penguins, and Weddell, crabeater, leopard and incidentally fur seals.
