Demon Point

Demon Point

Demon Point (57°3′S 26°40′W / 57.05°S 26.667°W / -57.05; -26.667) is a spit of coarse boulders which forms the northeast tip of Candlemas Island, South Sandwich Islands. It was charted and named Spit Point by personnel on RRS Discovery II in 1930, but that name was changed to avoid duplication. The new name applied by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1971 continues a theme of features named after mythical monsters on this island.
