Leon Head

Leon Head

Leon Head (coord|54|33|S|36|29|W|) is a prominent rocky headland, 880 m, forming the south side of the mouth of Brogger Glacier and the southeast side of the entrance to Undine South Harbour, on the south coast of South Georgia. The headland was roughly charted in 1819 by a Russian expedition under Bellingshausen. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), following a survey by the SGS, 1951-52, for the Spanish vessel Leon, which sighted South Georgia in 1756.
