Narrative

Fue descubierta por la Expedición Antártica Francesa de 1903-1905, al mando del Dr. Jean B. Charcot, quien le dio el nombre por un señor de apellido Claude que era miembro asociado de la Oficina de Longitudes. Hasta 1952 figuró erróneamente traducido en las cartas chilenas como punta Claudio. Consiste en un morro de piedra de 50 metros de altura que se alza verticalmente desde el mar, y cuya cima semeja un penacho, que constituye el extremo W de la península que limita por el S a bahía Guyou, costa occidental de la isla Brabante.
