Narrative

Point on the E side of Norway Bight on the S coast of Coronation Island, South Orkney Islands. The point marks the W extremity of an island which is separated from Coronation Island by a narrow channel, but it was mapped by DI in 1933 as a point on Coronation Island. The descriptive name alludes to the narrow separation from the main island and was given by the FIDS following their survey of 1950.
