Source-derived summary

Point Lola (60°44′S 44°43′W) is the east entrance point to Uruguay Cove, Laurie Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The name appears on an Argentine government chart of 1930, based upon surveys by two Argentine naval officers, I. Espindola in the Uruguay in 1915 and A. Rodriguez in the Primero de Mayo in 1930.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Point Lola” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Point, Lola and Antarctic provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 29, 2022. The linked authority identifier is Q487787. Authority coordinates are -60.733, -44.717. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1930 and 1915.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
