Mikhaylov Point

Mikhaylov Point (56°44′S 27°12′W) is a small promontory marking the southern extremity of Visokoi Island in the South Sandwich Islands. It was named "Low Point" by Discovery Investigations personnel following their survey of 1930, but the name has been changed to avoid duplication with Low Point on nearby Vindication Island, itself now renamed to Braces Point. The name "Mikhaylov Point" was recommended by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1953 and is for Pavel N. Mikhaylov, artist aboard the Vostok during the Russian expedition under Fabian von Bellingshausen, 1819–21. Mikhaylov made an excellent series of sketches of the South Sandwich Islands.
