Daisy Point (54°3′S 37°11′W / 54.05°S 37.183°W / -54.05; -37.183) is a point extending seaward from the high rocky shore on the east side of the Bay of Isles, South Georgia. It lies 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) west of Cape Wilson, near the entrance to Beckmann Fjord. The name Low Point was given for this feature, probably by DI personnel who charted this area in 1929. Following its survey in 1951-52, the SGS reported that this part of the coast is high and rugged, and the point, though relatively low by comparison, does not merit the description "low." The new name, recommended by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954, is after the sealing brig Daisy of New Bedford, MA, which under Captain Benjamin D. Cleveland visited the Bay of Isles in 1912-13.
