Flag Point


Flag Point is a point which lies east-southeast of Damoy Point and forms the north side of the entrance to Port Lockroy, Wiencke Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. It was named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1944; when the FIDS base at Port Lockroy was established in 1944, a metal Union Flag was erected on this point.
