Dreadnought Point (64°0′S 57°48′W / 64.000°S 57.800°W) is a prominent rocky point on the west side of Croft Bay, James Ross Island. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in August 1953. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee name is descriptive; the appearance of the feature is reminiscent of the bows of the early ironclads (battleships), also known as "dreadnoughts".[1]
