The Koloc Point is an ice-covered headland at the Walgreen Coast of the West Antarctic Marie Byrd lands . It forms the northern branch of the Bear Peninsula .
The United States Geological Survey mapped the headland using aerial photographs from the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1967 after Lieutenant Commander Bohumil Koloc Jr., a helicopter pilot on Operation Deep Freeze in 1966 and 1967.
