Dreadnought Point

Dreadnought Point is a prominent rocky point on the west side of Croft Bay on James Ross Island in the British Antarctic Territory.

The point was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from "Hope Bay" in August 1953. It was so named from its shape, reminiscent of the bows of a dreadnought; an early ironclad battleship.
