Rink Point

Rink Point (

63°53′S 58°11′W / 63.883°S 58.183°W / -63.883; -58.183Coordinates: 63°53′S 58°11′W / 63.883°S 58.183°W / -63.883; -58.183) is a rocky point on the northwest coast of James Ross Island, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) east of Carlson Island. The name arose because, during a visit by a Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) party in August 1952, the point was surrounded by a large area of slippery, snow-free sea ice resembling a skating rink.
