Return Point

Return Point is the south-western point of Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.

The point was charted by Powell in 7 December 1820, and so named because he visited it by boat and, after viewing the coast to the east, returned directly on board from this point. The point was further charted by Sørlle in 1912-13. The point was recharted by Discovery Investigations in 1933. The point was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1956-58.
