Young Point (63°36′S 58°55′W) is a rocky point 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Cape Roquemaurel at the east side of Bone Bay, on the west coast of Trinity Peninsula. Charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948 and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Dr. Adam Young, surgeon on the brig Williams which made explorations in the South Shetland Islands and Bransfield Strait in 1820.
