Stigant Point
Stigant Point is a conspicuous point, 65 m high, lying south-west of Davey Point on the north coast of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It was charted in 1935 by DI personnel, and named for G. B. Stigant, Chief Civil Hydrographic Officer of the Hydrographic Department of the Admiralty.The point has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because it supports a large breeding colony of about 11,000 pairs of Adélie penguins. Antarctic fur seals also breed at the site.
