Description
(see definition):
A small rock point on the W shore of Vincennes Bay, about 5 mi WNW of Mallory Point. This feature was first mapped from air photos taken by U.S. Navy (USN) OpHjp, 1946-47. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for John Brooks, seaman on the U.S. Exploring Expedition (USEE) flagship Vincennes under Wilkes, 1838-42. This 1972 naming resolves the problem raised by displacement of the name "Brooks Island" (now Ivanoff Head, q.v.).
