The Moreton Point is a headland on the west end of Coronation Iceland in Archipelago of the South Orkney Islands . It is 1.5 km north of Return Point and represents the northern limit of Fulmar Bay .

The headland was discovered in December 1821 by the seal hunters Nathaniel Palmer and George Powell (1794-1824). Scientists from the British Discovery Investigations made the designation in the course of surveying work in 1933.
