Cape Paryadin

Cape Paryadin (54°4′S 38°0′W) is a headland which forms the southernmost point of the west tip of South Georgia. It was discovered in 1775 by a British expedition under James Cook. The cape was resighted in 1819 by a Russian expedition under Bellingshausen, who named it for Yakov Poryadin, navigator on the Vostok. The spelling "Paryadin" for the cape has become established through long usage.
