Description (see definition): Point on the SW side of Fildes Peninsula, King George Island, forming the S entrance point to Geographers Cove. The approved name is a translation of the Russian "Mys Ekzoticheskiy" applied by Soviet Antarctic Expedition (SovAE) geologists in 1968. The name presumably refers to the different nature of the rocks from those adjoining the point.
