Polar Bear Point

Polar Bear Point (77°49′S 166°51′E) is an ice-covered point 1.2 nautical miles (2.2 km) southeast of Castle Rock on the east side of Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island. A breached crater stands 0.7 nautical miles (1.3 km) north-northwest, but no rock is exposed on the point which is well defined and elevated at the juncture with McMurdo Ice Shelf. The name is allusive; when viewed from the west, the appearance of the point is suggestive of the head, neck, and fore part of an Arctic polar bear. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN), 2000.
