The point is situated 9.6 km east-northeast of Siddins Point and 3 km southwest of Kotis Point and 4.9 km west-southwest of Miziya Peak.

gollark: limons did mention something about just using it for membership in some group and not for deciding who reproduces, but that's not particularly eugenicsy and just vaguely stupid like mensa.
gollark: Yeees, actually, hmm.

gollark: Violent crime dropped a ton some time after leaded petrol was beeized.
