The Duyvis Point is a headland at the Graham Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Felipe Solo Peninsula , it is 17.5 km south-southeast of Cape García on the east bank of the Barilari Bay and limits the entrance to Urovene Cove to the southeast .

Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , made the first rough mapping of the headland. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey specified this using aerial photographs by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. from 1956 to 1957. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them in 1959 after the Dutch documentary Frits Donker Duyvis (1894–1961), secretary of the International Federation for Information and Documentation , which was founded in 1895 and dissolved in 2002 .
