Isolation Point

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isolation Point (78°11′S, 167°30′E) is a small volcanic peak projecting through the ice sheet covering the southeast extremity of White Island, in the Ross Archipelago. So named because of its remote position by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1958-59.
