North Point (16°06'S., 168°09'E.), the N extremity of Ambrym Island, is fringed by a reef which extends up to 0.25 mile offshore. There is a mission station near North Point, where anchorage may be obtained, in depths of 22 to 27m, W of a black rock, 2.4m high, lying near the outer edge of the fringing reef. The tidal current here runs at the rate of 1 to 2 knots, so a good scope of anchor chain is necessary.
