Tottsuki Point ( Japanese と っ つ き 岬 Tottsuki-misaki , German 'First Cape' ) is a small and rocky headland on the Prince Harald Coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It is located 5 km southwest of the Flattunga .
Norwegian cartographers mapped them using aerial photographs from the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . Participants in the Japanese Antarctic Expedition , which lasted from 1957 to 1962 , took measurements and named them. In 1968, the US Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names transferred the Japanese name in a partial translation into English.
