Names that other countries have for this feature:
between Cardell Glacier and Erskine Glacier, Loubet Coast, was called in error Cape Bellue (q.v.) (USHO chart 6653, 1946) or Cabo Bellue (Chile. DNH chart LII, 1947); photographed from the air by FIDASE and surveyed from the ground by FIDS from "Detaille Island", 1956-57; named Phantom Point because the feature loomed like a phantom out of thick fog when first visited by a FIDS sledge party in 1957 (APC, 1959a, p.10; BA, 1961, p.188).
