Haralambiev Island (Bulgarian: Хараламбиев остров, romanized: Haralambiev ostrov, IPA: [xɐrɐˈɫambiɛf ˈɔstrof]) is the 530 m long in southeast-northwest direction and 300 m wide rocky island with surface area of 13 hectares (32 acres) in the Larsen Islands group on the west side of Coronation Island in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. It is "named after Captain Hristo Haralambiev (1948–2005), commander of the ocean fishing trawler Aktinia of the Bulgarian company Ocean Fisheries – Burgas during its fishing trip to Antarctic waters off South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands from November 1979 to June 1980. The Bulgarian fishermen, along with those of the Soviet Union, Poland and East Germany are the pioneers of modern Antarctic fishing industry."[1]
