Harrison Point : ウィキペディア英語版 | Harrison Point Harrison Point is a point marked by a string of off-lying rocks, lying west of Busen Point on the south side of Stromness Bay, South Georgia. It was charted in 1927 by Discovery Investigations (DI) personnel and named "Matthews Point" for L. Harrison Matthews, a British zoologist and member of the DI staff, 1924–35, who worked at South Georgia in 1924–27. In 1954, the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee recommended that this name be altered to Harrison Point to avoid duplication with Matthews Point (also named for L. Harrison Matthews), a better known feature in Undine Harbour, South Georgia. This change allows Matthews' name to be retained for this feature, while the confusing duplication of names is avoided.〔 ==References==
