Discovery Point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Discovery Point () is a point formed of glacial moraine, marking the west side of the entrance to Moraine Fjord, South Georgia. First surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04, under Nordenskjold. Probably named by Discovery Investigations personnel in the period following their surveys of 1926-31, presumably for their organization or their ships, the Discovery or Discovery II, which were utilized in the surveys of South Georgia.
