D'Ursel Point

D'Ursel Point is a headland which marks the south side of the entrance to Buls Bay on the southeast coast of Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago.
Avicenna Bay sits approximately 1.5 miles to the southwest.

History

It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache, and named by him for count Hippolyte d'Ursel, Président of the Royal Belgian Society of Géographics and a supporter of the expedition. The cape was recharted by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Norsel in April 1955 and photographed from the air by FIDASE, 1956–57.
