The Caution Point (English for care tip is) a headland at the Oskar-II. coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It marks the eastern end of a rocky ridge that forms the north face of the Crane Glacier 6 km northeast of Mount Birks .
The Australian polar explorer Hubert Wilkins took the first aerial photographs during an overflight on December 20, 1928. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped and named it in 1947. The name is an allusion to inadequacies in the localization of geographical objects from the air without the advantages of on-site surveys.
