Notes Belgica information (en): The NE entrance point to Buls Bay, Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. The point was roughly mapped by the BelgAE, 1897-99. It was mapped in detail in 1954 by an Argentine Antarctic Expedition and, in 1978, named "Cabo Terrada" after an Argentine patriot. The term point is appropriate and replaces "cabo" (cape) in the approved name. http://geonames.usgs.gov
