It consists of warm-brown grandiorite and supports a relatively luxuriant vegetation of lichens and mosses, along with nests of snow petrels and Wilson's Petrel. Two Japanese whale-chasers, apparently familiar with the site, dropped anchor there for two nights early in February 1958. Named by the NZ Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1957-58, for A S Helm, Secretary, Ross Sea Committee, who gave much assistane to the expedition. It is called Helm Point and not Cape Helm because it is inside a bay, not on the outer coast.
