Point Wild is a point on the north coast of Elephant Island. It was named for Frank Wild, leader of the party from Shackleton's shipwrecked expedition which camped and managed to survive on the point for four and a half months until they were rescued on 30 August 1916.
A bust of Captain Luis Alberto Pardo, with a monolith and plaques, has been placed at the point to celebrate the rescue of the survivors of the Endurance by the Yelcho. The inscription reads:
"Here on August 30th, 1916, the Chilean Navy cutter Yelcho commanded by Pilot Luis Pardo Villalón rescued the 22 men from the Shackleton Expedition who survived the wreck of the Endurance living for four- and one-half months in this Island".
