Elysian Beach

Elysian Beach (Bulgarian: Елисейски бряг, romanized: Eliseyski bryag, IPA: [ɛliˈsɛjski ˈbrʲak]) is the ice-free 2 km long beach on the east side of Byewater Point on the northwest coast of Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

The feature is named after the Elysian Fields, part of the underworld in Greek mythology.
