Busen Point

Busen Point

Busen Point or Busen Peninsula (coord|54|9|S|36|33|W|) is a point forming the southeast side of the entrance to Stromness Bay, on the north coast of South Georgia. It is between Cumberland West Bay and Stromness Bay. [Bicheno, Hugh (2006) "Razor's Edge: The Unofficial History of the Falklands War". London. Weidenfield & Nicholson. ISBN-13 978-0-7538-2186-2]

The point was known at a much earlier date, but the name was first used on the charts based upon the 1927-29 survey by DI personnel. Named for the head of Husvik Harbour in Stromness Bay.
