Dinghy Point

Dinghy Point (54°4′S 37°9′W / 54.067°S 37.15°W / -54.067; -37.15) is a point on the south side of Prince Olav Harbor, Cook Bay, on the north coast of South Georgia. Charted and named "Pram Point" by DI in 1929. The name Dinghy Point was approved for this feature by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1991 to avoid duplication with Pram Point at Leith Harbor in Stromness Bay.
