Narrative

Point forming the NE extremity of Renaud Island in the Biscoe Islands. The Biscoe Islands were discovered in 1832 by a British expedition under John Biscoe and were first roughly surveyed by the FrAE, 1903-05 and 1908-10. Renaud Island was again roughly surveyed in 1935-36 by the BGLE. The point was named in 1954 by the UK-APC for the Tula, one of the two vessels of Biscoe's 1830-32 expedition.
