Names that other countries have for this feature:
the southern extremity of Sturge Island, in the Balleny Islands. Ross, in 1841, viewing Sturge Island from a considerable distance, thought it to be a group of three islands, and named the supposed southernmost one Smyth Island after his friend, Captain William Henry Smyth, RN, President of the Royal Astronomical Society. The error was discovered by the NAE, 1901-04. Scott applied the name Cape Smyth to the southernmost point on Sturge Island.
