Ice-covered headland which rises to 305 m, forming the S side of the entrance to Hilton Inlet, on the E coast of Palmer Land. Discovered in 1940 by the U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS), but at that time it was thought to be an island. Its true nature was determined in an aerial flight by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) under Ronne, in November 1947. Named by the U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS) for Harry Darlington III, member of the East Base sledging party that explored this coast as far S as Hilton Inlet. Darlington was also a member of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE).
