The Villard Point ( Spanish Punta Villard ) is a headland on the north coast of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is part of Robbery Beaches , protrudes into Barclay Bay and separates Baba Tonka Cove in the west from Kukuzel Cove in the east.
Participants of the 25th Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1970–1971) probably named it after a member of the expedition. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee translated this designation into English in 1978.
