Homeward Point

Homeward Point is a point forming the west side of the entrance to Security Bay, on Doumer Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was first charted by the French [Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05], under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and so named by the British [Naval Hydrographic Survey Unit] in 1956–57 because the point was sighted as a prominent landmark almost daily by the crew of their motor-launch when homeward bound for Port Lockroy at the end of a day's survey work in the Bismarck Strait.
