Butter Point

Butter Point

Butter Point is located in McMurdo Sound in Antarctica. This area at the mouth of the Ferrar Glacier is straight across the sound from Hut Point. It was considered as the site of New Zealand's Scott Base because it offered the best approach by sea and access to the inland plateau. It was not used, with Pram Point chosen instead. It was named by Scott's party as a Depot point where a variety of supplies were cached, including a great deal of Butter.
