The Bay Point (English for Buchtspitze ) is a headland on the southeast coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It marks the east side of the entrance from the Neumayer Canal to the Börgen Bay .
Participants in the Belgica expedition (1897–1899) led by the Belgian polar explorer Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery discovered the headland. Your name can be found for the first time on maps from 1927, which were created in the course of the British Discovery Investigations . The descriptive naming probably goes back to an earlier point in time.
