Narrative

E side of Penola Strait, SE of Petermann Island, Graham Coast, was roughly mapped by FAE, 1908-10, in 1909; photographed from the air by FIDASE and charted by FIDS-RN, 1956-58; called Cabo Redondo [=round point] by AAE (Argentina. MM chart 130, 1957); named Moot Point because, from 1909, it had remained a moot point whether access to the plateau could be gained from this landing place (APC, 1959a, p.9; BA chart 3572, 12.viii.1960). Punta Moot (Chile. DNH chart 1502, 1962; IHA, 1974, p.204). Redondo Point (USBGN, 1965, p.104). This rock feature is now an island.
