Crosscut Point

Crosscut Point (57°4′S 26°46′W / 57.067°S 26.767°W / -57.067; -26.767) is a series of jagged rocks forming the north end of Vindication Island in the South Sandwich Islands. Charted in 1930 by DI personnel on the Discovery II, and so named because numerous crosscutting dikes have withstood weathering and produced this irregular formation.
