Poynter Hill

Poynter Hill is a conspicuous hill, height 825 metres (2,707 ft), standing 8 nautical miles (15 km) east-southeast of Cape Kjellman on the west side of Trinity Peninsula. Charted in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, it was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1950 after Mr. Poynter, master's mate, who accompanied Edward Bransfield on the brig Williams in January 1820 when explorations were made in the South Shetland Islands and Bransfield Strait. Poynter Hill is separated from nearby Ivory Pinnacles by the 700-metre pass Poynter Col, which derived its name from that of the hill.[1]

gollark: As much as I hate to be golanguous and say "programmers clearly cannot do X properly", programmers clearly cannot do C properly.
gollark: Well, they seemingly won't.
gollark: Too bad, they are to.
