Island at the point of no return (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

midway

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'point of no return' is the definition.
'midway' can be an answer for 'point' (I have seen 'Central point' mean 'midway' so perhaps 'point' could also mean 'midway'). I am unsure of the 'of no return' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for midway that I've seen before include "With as far to go as already travelled" , "Equally distant from the extremes" , "1942 naval battle in the Pacific - towards the centre" , "At the fifty per cent point" , "Towards the middle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
