Separates 4.3 km east-southeast of Edholm Point and 4.1 km west of Burton Point the Transmarisca Bay in the west of the Suregetes Cove in the east. A group of small islands extends in front of this headland over a length of 2 km in a south-west-north-east and 2 km in a south-south-east-north-north-west orientation.
