The Moore Point is a rocky cape , which is dominated by a small summit on the Rymill coast of the Antarctic Palmer Lands . It marks the north side of the estuary of the Meiklejohn Glacier in the George VI Sound .
The cape was first measured in 1936 by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937). The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1954 after James Inglis Moore (1911-1989), second engineer on the schooner Penola on this research trip .
