Mikhaylov Point

Mikhaylov Point

Mikhaylov Point (56°44′S 27°12′W / 56.733°S 27.2°W / -56.733; -27.2) is a small promontory marking the south extremity of Visokoi Island in the South Sandwich Islands. It was named Low Point by DI personnel following their survey of 1930, but the name has been changed to avoid duplication with Low Point on nearby Vindication Island. Mikhaylov Point was recommended by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1953 and is named for Pavel N. Mikhaylov, artist aboard the 1819-21. Mikhaylov made an excellent series of sketches of the South Sandwich Islands.
