Camp Academia
The northwestern foothills of Zograf Peak are known as Camp Academia, a central location in the upper Huron Glacier, Wörner Gap area, eastern Livingston Island (62°38′41.9″S 60°10′18″W / 62.644972°S 60.17167°W / -62.644972; -60.17167). This location can be accessed by an 11 km route from St. Kliment Ohridski base, or a 12.5 km route from Juan Carlos I base. The site offers convenient overland access to the Tangra Mountains to the south; Bowles Ridge, Vidin Heights, Kaliakra Glacier and Saedinenie Snowfield areas to the north; Huron Glacier to the east and Perunika Glacier and Huntress Glacier to the west.
Camp Academia hosted the base camp of the Bulgarian topographic survey Tangra 2004/05 from 3 December 2004 until 2 January 2005 and was named for the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in appreciation of that academy’s contribution to Antarctic exploration. Since 2004 the site has been designated as the summer post office Tangra 1091 of the Bulgarian Posts Plc.
Zograf Peak and Camp Academia were mapped in 2005 and 2009 from the topographic survey Tangra 2004/05.

Famous quotes containing the word camp:
“If all would lead their lives in love like me,
Then bloody swords and armor should not be;
No drum nor trumpet peaceful sleeps should move,
Unless alarm came from the camp of love.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
