Location of Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands.

Macaroni Point (Lua error in Module:Coordinates at line 489: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).) is a point marking the northeastern extremity of Deception Island, in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The name arose following survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in January 1954, because a colony of macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) was on this point.[1]
