The lobster Point is a headland at the Walgreen Coast of the West Antarctic Marie Byrd lands . It forms the eastern cape of the Gurnon Peninsula , the eastern part of the Bear Peninsula . To the south of it, the Bunner glacier flows into the Amundsen Sea .

The United States Geological Survey mapped the headland based on its own surveys and aerial photographs by the United States Navy from 1959 to 1966.
