 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2013) |
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,[1] who commanded the vessels HMS Jason and HMS Carcass,[2] which in turn gave their names to the Jason Islands and Carcass Island.
