MacBride Head explained

MacBride (or Macbride) Head is the most northeasterly^[1] point of the Falkland Islands, and is on East Falkland. Mount MacBride is just to its south. There is a sea lion colony here.

It takes its name from Capt. John MacBride, the man credited with settling Saunders Island, who commanded the vessels HMS Jason and HMS Carcass,^[2] which in turn gave their names to the Jason Islands and Carcass Island.
