Editing Signy Island (section)

=== West coast ===
The northernmost point of Signy Island is descriptively named North Point, first charted in 1933 by DI personnel.<ref name="gnis-NP">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=10863|name=North Point|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref> To the southwest, {{Cvt|0.75|nmi|km|1|abbr=}} off the coast, are the ice-free Spindrift Rocks, approximately {{Cvt|15|m||abbr=}} high. They were surveyed and named in 1947 by FIDS. The name is descriptive of the [[spindrift]], or sea spray, which forms over these rocks during westerly gales.<ref name="gnis-SR">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=14383|name=Spindrift Rocks|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref> South of North Point is Williams Haven, a cove with a large [[sea cave]] in the cliff on the north side of the cove. UK-APC named the cove after [[David D. Wynn-Williams]], BAS [[microbiologist]].<ref name="gnis-WH">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=16644|name=Williams Haven|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref> The south entrance of Williams Haven is marked by Richard Point, named for Kenneth J.

Deschampsia Point is a point on the northwest side of Signy Island, 0.3 nautical miles (0.6&nbsp;km) northeast of the Spindrift Rocks. It was descriptively named by UK-APC in 1991 after the Antarctic hair grass ''[[Deschampsia antarctica]]'', which grows on the slopes near the point.<ref name="gnis-DP">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=3772|name=Deschampsia Point|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref>

To the south, Lovegrove Point, named by UK-APC for [[Ian W. Lovegrove]], marks the north entrance of Express Cove, a small cove approximately midway down the west coast of the island.<ref name="gnis-LOVP">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=9067|name=Lovegrove Point|access-date=2020-05-04|links=off}}</ref> Express Cove has a very indented shoreline with numerous offshore islands and rocks.

The next significant feature is Thulla Point, an ice-free point lying 1 nautical mile (1.9&nbsp;km) northeast of Jebsen Point.

Inland to the southeast of the point and cove are several lakes, all named by UK-APC. Amos Lake, named for [[Stephen C.

Port Jebsen indents the coast towards the south end of the island immediately north of Jebsen Point.
