Pottinger Point : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pottinger Point Pottinger Point is a low-lying, ice-free promontory east of Round Point, about 500 m long, on the north coast of King George Island in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Captain Pottinger, Master of the ''Tartar'' from London, who visited the South Shetland Islands in 1821-22. ==Important Bird Area== The point has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a breeding colony of over 55,000 pairs of chinstrap penguins, one of the largest in the South Shetlands.
