Point Alden is an ice-covered point with rock exposures along the seaward side. The point marks the western side of the entrance to Commonwealth Bay and the division between Adélie Coast and George V Coast in Antarctica. Discovered on January 30, 1840 by the USEE under Lt. Charles Wilkes, and named by him for Lt. James Alden of the expedition's flagship Vincennes.

Cover Story - Drawing the Line (2905 words)
Alden had a way of blending the upper limit of the coastal land with cloud formations in the sky, and affecting subtle transitions between sea and shore.
Alden described how after the Alert recrossed the Columbia bar and headed north for Fort Victoria and the San Juan Islands, dozens of killer whales followed her course up the Strait of Juan de Fuca, bumping the hull and blowing their spouts off the bow for almost 100 miles.
Alden painted several of the supply depots positioned along the route, often with a British camp on the north side of a river and U.S. tents on the south side.
