Rocky promontory standing 4 mi SW of Three Slice Nunatak and marking the N end of the main mountainous mass of Joerg Peninsula, on the E coast of Graham Land. Pylon Point lies in the area first seen by Sir Hubert Wilkins on his flight of Dec. 20, 1928, and crossed by Lincoln Ellsworth on his flight of Nov. 21, 1935. So named by the US-SCAN because the various flights and sledge trips of the USAS, 1939-41, rounded it on their way S along the E coast of Antarctic Peninsula.
