SCAR Gazetteer Information: Each place can have one or more entries in the SCAR Composite Gazetteer, dependant on its origin. By viewing an individual entry, you may see multiple references to the same place. SCAR uses a more general feature type coding, so each place will, in general, have multiple feature types.

Name ID: 130139
Place ID: 11271
The rectilinear ice slope running parallel to and some 100 m inland from the NW coast of Emona Harbour in Livingston Island.

Named for Christo Pimpirev, leader of the Bulgarian Antarctic campaigns during the 1993/94, 1994/95, 1995/96, and 1996/97 seasons, who also conducted geological field work on Alexander Island during the summer of 1987/88. |

Name ID: 105028
Place ID: 11271
Rectilinear ice scarp-slope, 50m high, running parallelly to and ca. 100 m inland from the coast of Emona Anchorage, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands. Extending from the N corner of Emona Anchorage 3.7 km in WSW direction. In 1996 the feature was named 'Pimpirev Ice Wall' after Christo Pimpirev (b. 1953), geologist in the 1987-88 Bulgarian Antarctic campaign and leader of subsequent campaigns. The modified name form 'Pimpirev Ice Wall (historical)' preserves the memory of the place, while reflecting at the same time the fact that due to ongoing glacier thawing the feature is less conspicuous and distinctive than it used to be.
