Description (see definition): Rocky headland on the N coast of South Georgia, 3 mi NW of Cape Harcourt. The name "Kalber-Berg" (calf mountain) was given by the German group of the International Polar Year Investigations, 1882-83, but was limited to the summit of the headland. The feature was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey (SGS), 1951-52, who reported that a name is more essential for its seaward extremity in order to distinguish it from Cape Harcourt, with which it is easily confused when viewed from N and NW. The English form of the name, Calf Head, was recommended by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954.
