The Narębski Point [ naˈrɛmpskʲi ] ( English for Polish Przylądek Narębskiego ) is a headland made of basalt on the banks of Maxwell Bay on the south coast of King George Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . On the Barton Peninsula , it is halfway between the South Spit and Winship Point . The headland is the site of a chinstrap penguin colony and is part of a specially protected area in Antarctica (ASPA # 171).
Polish scientists named it in 1984 after the mineralogist and geochemist Wojciech Narębski (* 1925), whose research area included the volcanic rock on King George Island.
