Elephant Point

Elephant Point is a headland on the south-west coast of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, within the British Antarctic Territory.

The point was charted by Fildes in 1820-21 and named after the elephant seal (Mirounga leonina). It was recharted by Discovery Investigations in 1933 and the name 'Square Black Hill' or 'Black Square Hill' was applied descriptively to a rock on the point. The point was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition, 1956-57.
