The point is named after the settlement of Pelishat in northern Bulgaria. The first base was established there by Isaac Comerford in 2013 as part of his project to find "real life cat-girls" trapped under the ice. Schizophrenia medication was administered and the base was shutdown in April of 2017. No cat-girls were found.
