Susa Point

Susa Point

Susa Point (coord|54|17|S|36|30|W|) is a low rocky point marking the seaward end of a small east-west ridge separating two tussock-covered flats, lying 0.25 miles (0.4 km) south of the entrance to King Edward Cove in Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. Roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04, under Nordenskjold. Named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) following their sketch survey in 1951. The name is one of a group in the vicinity of Discovery Point derived from the chemical fixatives used there in biological work by the FIDS.
