Point Appleby is a headland on the west side of a previously unnamed island, 1.3 km south of Warren Island in William Scoresby Bay on the coast of East Antarctica Mac Robertson Land .
Participants in the British Discovery Investigations discovered, mapped and named the cape in February 1936 from RRS William Scoresby . They thought it was part of the coast of William Scoresby Bay. Norwegian cartographers corrected this error after evaluating aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37 .
