Exotic Point

Exotic Point (

62°13′S 59°2′W / 62.217°S 59.033°W / -62.217; -59.033Coordinates: 62°13′S 59°2′W / 62.217°S 59.033°W / -62.217; -59.033) is a point on the southwest side of Fildes Peninsula, King George Island, forming the south entrance point to Geographers Cove. The approved name is a translation of the Russian "Mys Ekzoticheskiy" applied by Soviet Antarctic Expedition geologists in 1968. The name presumably refers to the different nature of the rocks from those adjoining the point.^[1]
