Long Beach (Bulgarian: бряг Лонг, romanized: bryag Long, IPA: [ˈbrʲak ˈlɔŋ]) is the ice-free beach on the southwest coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, extending 1 km northwards from Ross Point. Its surface area is 24.7 ha. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.[1]
The beach is named after the American missionary Albert Long (1832-1901) who contributed greatly to the Bulgarian National Revival, and together with Elias Riggs organized the first translation (by Neofit Rilski), printing and dissemination of the Bible in modern Bulgarian language; in association with other Bulgarian historical names in the area.
