Description (see definition): The eastern point of Currituck Island, in the Highjump Archipelago. The name "Mohaupt Island" was given by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1956 to the northern portion of Currituck Island, then thought to be a separate feature. Subsequent Soviet expeditions (1956-57) found that feature to be part of Currituck Island and Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) has reapplied the name to the point described. Named for H.E. Mohaupt, air crewman on U.S. Navy (USN) OpHjp photographic flights in this area in 1946-47.
