Pram Point

Pram Point is a low rounded point on the southeast side of Hut Point Peninsula, about 1.5 mi (2.4 km) northeast of Cape Armitage, on Ross Island. It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (BrNAE), under Scott, 1901-04. It was named Pram Point by Scott's expedition because they kept a Norwegian 'pram' (dinghy) there to get from the shore of Ross Island to the Ross Ice Shelf during the summer months.[1]
