Narrative

La Expedición Británica de 1839-1843, al mando de James Clark Ross, en el año 1842 le dio este nombre, por el apellido del maestre Edward Bransfield, RN, al extremo W de lo que ahora conocemos como islas Joinville. Posteriormente, en 1947, se determinó que ese extremo W era una isla separada, a la cual se le dio el nombre isla Bransfield, adjudicando punta Bransfield a este extremo occidental de la isla D'Urville. Punta que constituye el extremo occidental de la isla D'Urville y que está situada a 17 millas al NE del cabo Dubouzet de la península Luis Felipe.
