Diralo Point

Diralo Point (Bulgarian: нос Дирало, ‘Nos Diralo’ \'nos di-'ra-lo) is the rocky point at the southeast extremity of Metlichina Ridge, forming the north side of the entrance to Borima Bay on Oscar II Coast, Graham Land in Antarctica. It was formed as a result of the disintegration of Larsen Ice Shelf in the area in 2002 and the subsequent retreat of Jorum Glacier.
