South West Point (54°30′S 37°6′W / 54.500°S 37.100°W / -54.500; -37.100) is the southwest point of Annenkov Island, off the south-central coast of South Georgia. Annenkov Island was discovered by Captain James Cook in 1775, and resighted by Admiral Thaddeus Bellingshausen in 1819. The point appears to be first named on a chart based upon DI surveys undertaken in the period 1926–30.
