Names that other countries have for this feature:
The southern extremity of Sturge Island in the Balleny Islands. In 1841, Capt. James C. Ross, viewing Sturge Island from a considerable distance, thought it a group of three islands. He named the southernmost "Smyth Island" for his friend Capt. William Henry Smyth, RN, President of the Royal Astronomical Society. Ross' error was discovered in 1904 by Capt. Robert F. Scott, who applied the name to the southernmost point on Sturge Island.
