Narrative

E point of Neny Island and W entrance point of Neny Bay, Marguerite Bay, Fallières Coast, was surveyed by BGLE in 1936 and resurveyed by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in 1947; named after the Canadian Car and Foundry Co. Norseman floatplane (FO P.B. St Louis, Mount St Louis, q.v.), which landed near this point to relieve the "Stonington Island" party in February 1950 (APC, 1955, p.16; BA chart 3213, 23.iii.1956). Punta Parodi, so called by CAE probably after a member of the expedition (Chile. IH chart 1604, 1969).
