Location of Trinity Peninsula.

Bald Head (63°38′S 57°36′W / 63.633°S 57.600°W / -63.633; -57.600) is a bare, ice-free headland on Yatrus Promontory situated 8 nautical miles (15 km) southwest of View Point on the south side of Trinity Peninsula on the Antarctic Peninsula in Antarctica. It was probably first seen in 1902–03 by J. Gunnar Andersson's party of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey charted it and applied the descriptive name in 1945.[1]
