Narrative

The high, northern point of Flat Island in Victoria Land, marking the W side of the entrance to Robertson Bay. Capt. James Ross, in Jan. 1840, applied this name to a cape of the mainland, honoring Sir John Barrow, founder of the Royal Geographic Society, 1830, and Secretary of the Admiralty, 1807-45. The feature was mapped as a point on Flat Island by the BrAE, 1910-13, led by Scott.
