COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

at N end of Paradise Harbour, Danco Coast, formed by a small island joined to the mainland by a spit at low tide, was roughly charted by BeAE in February 1898 (Lecointe, 1903, Carte 5); surveyed by BAE, 1920-22, when a two-man party occupied the point from 12 January 1921 to 13 January 1922, living in an old water boat left stranded by the whaling factory ship Neko about eight years before; named Water Boat Point (Lester 1920-22b, p.25; 1923, p.179; BA 1948, p.79). The Island (Bagshawe, 1938, p.185 and map p.189; Croxall and Kirkwood, 1979, Map 13.1). The feature was further surveyed by CAE, 1950-51, and called Península Munita after Capt. (N) Diego Munita Whittaker, commanding the expedition in the patrol ship Angamos (Chile. DNH chart 511, 1951; IHA, 1974, p.205). A Chilean station was established on the site in January 1951 and called "González Videla" or "Base Presidente González Videla", after G. G. Videla (Greenwich Island, q.v.) (Thomas and Addison, 1954, p.166). Punta Waterboat, referring to a point on the mainland opposite the island (Chile. DNH chart 511, 1951; IHA 1974, p.298). Islote Pingüino [=penguin islet] (Argentina. MM, 1953, p. 253). Isla Pingüino (Argentina. MM chart LL, 1954). The point was photographed from the air by FIDASE, 1956-57. Waterbootpunt [sic] (Knapp, 1958, p.588). Waterboat Point (APC, 1958, p.7; BA chart 3566, 16.x.1959). Isla Domnitz, "Base Gabriel González Videla" (Halpern, 1962, Fig.6).

The low westernmost termination of the peninsula between Paradise Harbor and Andvord Bay on the west coast of Graham Land. This feature has "island" characteristics, but it is only separated from the mainland at high water and is more usefully described as a "point." The coast in this vicinity was first roughly surveyed by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition in 1898. This point was surveyed and given this name by T.W. Bagshawe and M.C. Lester who lived here in a water boat from January 1921 until January 1922.

Denominada por dos integrantes de la Expedición Británica efectuada entre los años 1920-1922, esta información fue proporcionada por la V Expedición Antártica Chilena al encontrarse en un refugio un plano a mano alzada del lugar, donde designan a la punta con el mismo nombre. Se localiza entre los caletones Cecilia y Témpanos, en la costa de Danco, en la costa W de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
