Description (see definition): Point located centrally along the S shore of Seymour Island, lying SE of James Ross Island at the S margin of Erebus and Terror Gulf. The point was possibly seen in 1843 by a British expedition under Ross, and was roughly charted by Captain C.A. Larsen who landed on the island in 1892 and 1893. Recharted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (SwedAE) under Nordenskjold, 1901-04, who so named it because a large penguin colony was found there.
