Antarctic beach From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Calliope Beach (Bulgarian: бряг Калиопа, romanized: bryag Kaliopa, IPA: [ˈbrʲak kɐliˈɔpɐ]) is the ice-free 2.9 km long beach on the north side of President Head, Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is part of the south coast of Morton Strait, situated east of Karposh Point and north of Oeagrus Beach.[1] The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.[2]
The feature is named after the nymph Calliope, mother of the mythical Thracian musician Orpheus.[1]
