A distinctively banded point which juts into the head of Ross Ice Shelf from the Duncan Mountains. The point is 7 mi ENE of Mount Fairweather. It was first roughly plotted from ground surveys and aerial photographs by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928-30. The Southern Party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963-64, visited the point and gave the name because of the abundance of the rock Pegmatite.
