Situated 12.65 km south-southeast of Radibosh Point, 6.3 km northeast of Velichkov Knoll, 6.76 km west of Almond Point and 19.2 km southwest of Cape Kjellman. Shape enhanced as a result of Andrew Glacier’s retreat and associated forming of Ognen Cove in the late 20th and early 21st century.

The point is named after the settlement of Nikyup in northern Bulgaria.
