Pimpirev Beach (Pimpirev Bryag pim-'pi-rev 'bryag) is the portion of the northwest coast of South Bay, Livingston Island, Antarctica bounded to the southwest by Ereby Point and to the northeast by the north corner of the bay marked by an ice sea cave located 5.8 km east-northeast of Ereby Point and 1.45 km northwest of Aleko Point.
Contents
The shoreline, extending 6.5 km in a west-southwest to east-northeast direction, is formed by a narrow beach under the Pimpirev Glacier’s terminus; a number of minor disruptions occur with segments of the ice cap penetrating the sea. Featuring Smolyan Point, a cape located 1.9 km northeast of Ereby Point and ending up with a 25 m wide and 4 m high rock, with conspicuous radial crevasses spreading inland. The central portion of the coast is indented for 250 m by a nameless 710 m wide cove behind Rongel Reef.
The beach takes its name from the adjacent Pimpirev Ice Wall, respectively Pimpirev Glacier.
