The Tula Point is a headland , the northeastern end of Renaud Island in the archipelago of Biscoe Islands west of the Antarctic Peninsula .
The Biscoe Islands were discovered in 1832 by a British expedition (1830-1832) under John Biscoe and mapped during the Fourth (1903-1905) and Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908-1910) under Jean-Baptiste Charcot . The Renaud Island was the subject of survey work by the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) under John Rymill . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the headland in 1953 after the brig Tula , one of the two ships on Biscoe's expedition.
