Narrative

La Expedición Antártica Chilena de 1947-1948 la llamó punta Tte. Bahamonde, nombre que corresponde al del teniente 1º Arturo Bahamonde Calderón, ingeniero de la expedición. En algunas cartas chilenas de 1951 y 1959 apareció erróneamente como punta Bahamondes. El uso actual es punta Bahamonde, lo que evita el nombre compuesto y la abreviatura. Punta situada en el extremo occidental de la península Schmidt, la que se desprende desde el cabo Legoupil, costa occidental de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
