The Bone Point is a headland at the southeastern foothills of the island Herring Iceland in Archipelago of the Windmill Islands off the Budd Coast of the East Antarctic Wilke country .
An initial mapping was made using aerial photographs of the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947) and Operation Windmill (1947–1948). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the headland in 1963 after the Australian meteorologist Steven D. Bone, who was a member of the winter team at Wilkes Station in 1962.
