To avoid confusion a new name has been approved for this feature. The name Brutus Island, after the hulk Brutus, which was towed across with coal from South Africa by two small catchers and has for many years been moored alongside the whaling station in Prince Olav Harbor, was proposed by Sir Harold Salvesen. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

In 1903 the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition under Bruce applied the name "Cape Buchanan," after J.Y. Buchanan, a member of the which had been named Cape Valavielle in 1838 by a French expedition under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville. At the same time, the French name (in English form but misspelled "Cape Vallavielle") was transferred to the point now described. The name Cape Valavielle has been retained for the prominent cape, as applied by d'Urville, on the basis of priority and wide usage. For the sake of historical continuity, the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954 recommended that the name Buchanan Point be applied to the point now described.

This feature on the south margin of the Queen Maud Mountains is the location of Roald Amundsen's "Butcher Shop." It was here in November 1911 that his party slaughtered their excess sledge dogs, consuming portions themselves and permitting the remaining sledge dogs a feast, prior to making the final dash to the South Pole, which was reached December 14.
