The Edholm Point is a headland that the northwest end of Krogh Iceland in Archipelago Biscoe Islands off the west coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula forms.
Aerial photographs of the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–1957) were used to map them. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the headland on September 23, 1960 after the British physiologist Otto Gustaf Edholm (1909–1985), from 1949 head of the department for human physiology at the National Institute for Medical Research , who dealt with the influence of cold on occupied the human organism.
