Description
(see definition):
A spit of coarse boulders which forms the NE tip of Candlemas Island, South Sandwich Islands. It was charted and named Spit Point by personnel on Royal Research Ship (RRS) Discovery II in 1930, but that name was changed to avoid duplication. The new name applied by UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) in 1971 continues a theme of features named after mythical monsters on this island.
