Foul Point

Foul Point is the north point of small island forming the west entrance of Ommaney Bay, Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.

The point was roughly charted by Powell and Palmer in December 1821 and so named presumably because of off-shore rocks. The feature was further charted by Sørlle, 1912-13. The feature was recharted by Discovery Investigations in 1933. The feature was surveyed from the ground by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1956-58.
