Description
(see definition):
A rocky headland 0.5 mi SE of Rogers Head, overlooking the W side of Corinthian Bay, on the N side of Heard Island. The feature appears to have been roughly charted by the German Antarctic Expedition (GerAE) under Drygalski, who made a running survey of the N side of the island in 1902. Resurveyed by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) in 1948, and so named by them because of its close association with Corinthian Bay.
