The Flagon Point ( English for bottle tip ) is a headland towered over by two 295 m and 395 m high mountains on the Black Coast of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located on the south side of the entrance to Schott Inlet .

It was discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by scientists from the East Base on the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941). The mapping was carried out in 1947 jointly by teams from the US Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948) and the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . The latter named it that way because viewed from the north and south it resembles an overturned bottle .
