The Clapp Point ( English ; in Argentina Punta Azurduy , in Chile Punta Téllez ) is a headland of the Kiev Peninsula on the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located 6 km northeast of Cape Pérez and immediately south of the mouth of the Trooz Glacier in the head end of Collins Bay .

Aerial photographs were taken between 1956 and 1957 during the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1977 after Edward Christopher John Clapp (* 1930), a member of the British Antarctic Survey . Argentine scholars named her, however, after Juana Azurduy de Padilla (1780–1862), military leader in the South American Wars of Independence . The namesake of the name valid in Chile is Cirilo Téllez Almonacid, stoker on the Yelcho in the rescue of the endurance expedition (1914-1917) of the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton who were stranded on Elephant Island in 1916 .
