Description
(see definition):
Point which marks the SE side of the entrance to False Bay on the S side of Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. This point was known to sealers as early as 1822. The name was applied about a century later, probably after Mount Barnard (now Mount Friesland) which surmounts it to the northeast. Charles H. Barnard, captain of the ship Charity of New York, was a sealer in the South Shetland Islands in 1820-21.
