Flagstaff Point

Flagstaff Point (77°33′S 166°10′E) is a point forming the south end of the Cape Royds headland on the west side of Ross Island. It was charted and named by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09, under Ernest Shackleton, which established its winter headquarters and erected a flag near the point. The dark volcanic sand beach 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) southward of Flagstaff Point is named Blacksand Beach.
