Islet Point

Islet Point

Islet Point (coord|54|14|S|36|38|W|) is a headland forming the east side of the entrance to Carlita Bay, Cumberland West Bay, on the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears to be first used on a 1929 British Admiralty chart and probably derives from the islet just off the point.
