Carey Point
Carey Point (57°47′S 26°32′W) is a rocky point marking the western extremity of Saunders Island in the South Sandwich Islands. It was named Rocky Point by DI personnel following their survey in 1930, but the name has been changed to avoid duplication with Rocky Point on Vindication Island. Carey Point was recommended by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1953 and is named for Commander W.M. Carey, Royal Navy, captain of the RSS Discovery II at the time of the survey.
