Headland 4 mi N of the entrance to Holtedahl Bay, on the W coast of Graham Land. Discovered by the FrAE, 1908-10, who from a distant position in Pendleton Strait charted this feature as an island, which Charcot named for A. Ferin, French Vice-consul at Ponta Delgada, Azores. The BGLE under Rymill, 1934-37, charted this coast and correlated their work with that of Charcot. Ferin Head, as here applied, is in accord with the BGLE interpretation. |

Descubierta por la Expedición Antártica Francesa, 1908-1910, al mando del Dr. Jean B. Charcot, quien la divisó desde el estrecho Pendleton, cartografiándolo como una isla. Charcot le dio este nombre por A. Ferin, vice-cónsul de Francia en punta Delgada, Azores. La expedición británica de 1934-1937, al mando de John Rymill, cartografió esta costa y corrigió el trabajo hecho por Charcot. Cabo que se forma en el lado N de la entrada a bahía Holtedahl, en la costa W de la península Tierra de O'Higgins. |
