The Toe

The Toe is a point marking the south side of the entrance to Harmony Cove and the north-west side of the entrance to Varvara Cove on the west side of Nelson Island, in the South Shetland Islands. This descriptive name seems first to appear on a chart based upon a 1935 survey by DI personnel on the Discovery II. The Toe is part of both Antarctic Specially Protected Area Harmony Point (ASPA 133)[1] and the BirdLife International Important Bird Area Harmony Point, Nelson Island.[2]
