Description (see definition): A rock point forming the northeast tip of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands. The discovery of the South Shetland Islands was first reported in 1819 by William Smith, Master of the brig Williams. In John Miers’ account of Smith’s voyage, published in 1820, he states that Smith gave the name Williams to a point of land in this vicinity. In recent years Williams Point has been established in international usage for the point described.
