**Cato Point** ([54°28′S 3°22′E](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?params=54_28_S_3_22_E))is a headland forming the southwest extremity of [Bouvet Island](/source/Bouvet_Island). It was first charted in 1898 by a German expedition under [Carl Chun](/source/Carl_Chun). The Norwegian expedition under Captain [Harald Horntvedt](/source/Harald_Horntvedt) made a landing here from the *Norvegia* in December 1927; they applied the name.[1][2]
