Exotic Point
Exotic Point (62°13′14″S 59°01′46″W / 62.22061°S 59.02933°W / -62.22061; -59.02933) 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]
