Barnard Point

Barnard Point

Barnard Point (coord|62|46|S|60|21|W|) is a point which marks the southeast side of the entrance to False Bay on the south side of Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. This point was known to sealers as early as 1822. The name was applied about a century later, probably after Mount Barnard (now Mount Friesland) which surmounts it to the northeast. Charles H. Barnard, captain of the ship "Charity" of New York, was a sealer in the South Shetland Islands in 1820-21.
