President Head

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

President Head (62°44′S, 61°12′W) is a headland forming the east extremity of Snow Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name "President Island" was applied by the Stonington sealers in 1820-21 to Snow Island, but that name did not become established. "President Head" was applied by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1961 in order to preserve the name on this island.
