Aspasia Point
Aspasia Point is a steep rocky headland forming the west extremity of Fanning Ridge, lying east-southeast of Cape Nuñez on the south coast of the island of South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee following mapping by the South Georgia Survey in 1951-52. The name derives from association with Fanning Ridge, as the American armed corvette Aspasia under Captain Edmund Fanning took 57,000 fur seals at South Georgia in 1800-01.
