Volunteer Point

Volunteer Point is a headland on the east coast of East Falkland, in the Falkland Islands, north-northeast of Stanley, and east of Johnson's Harbour and Berkeley Sound. It lies at the end of a narrow peninsula, which protects Volunteer Lagoon. It is named after the ship Volunteer, which visited the islands in 1815. Volunteer Point hosts the islands' largest king penguin colony along its beach.
