Razorback Point was named after Olavtoppen (Olav Peak), known by the whalers "Razorback", the highest mountain on Bouvetøya at the base of which the settlement was built. The station consisted of little more than a handful of ramshackle wooden buildings and was dominated by its large, carst-iron separating vat, used to render whale blubber down into usable oils.
