The Wade Point is a 915 m high rocky cape at the Rymill coast of Palmer Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It marks the western end of a ridge between the Millett Glacier and the Bertram Glacier and separates the mouths of both glaciers into George VI Sound .
The cape was first measured in 1936 during the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . Rymill named it in 1954 after Muriel H. Wade, secretary of the expedition.
