Hovgaard Island is a popular location for camping in Antarctica among expedition groups due to the presence of a relatively flat campsite along Penola Strait.

The shores are steep vertical cliffs, and the points are foul, making landings difficult.

A shoal area, with rocks which break, is charted within 400 yards eastward of the eastern end of Pleneau Island.

Charted and named by the French Antarctic Expedition (FrAE) under Jean-Baptiste Charcot , 1903–05, after J. Guéguen Point, one of the crew the ship Francais and later, of the Pourquoi-Pas?, 1908-10.

However, the name Hovgaard, applied by the BelgAE under Gerlache in February 1898, has overtaken the original in usage.

In order to preserve Dallmann's earlier name in this vicinity, Krogmann Point has been approved for the feature here described.

Charted as a peninsula of Hovgaard Island by the FrAE, 1903–05, under Charcot, who named its northeast point for Paul Pléneau, photographer of the expedition.
