In Walker Bay on Livingston Island , it is 3.9 km northwest of Hannah Point , 9.5 km northeast of Bond Point and 4.62 km south of Snow Peak . In the north it is connected to Livingston Island by a 600 m long tombolo made of moraine rubble . It was exposed when the Werila Glacier retreated at the beginning of the 21st century .
