Cheal Point

Cheal Point: Cheal Point (60°38′S 45°59′W / 60.633°S 45.983°W / -60.633; -45.983) is a rocky headland 1 mile (1.6 km) east-southeast of Return Point, the southwestern extremity of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It was first surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Joseph J. Cheal of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, general assistant in 1950 and leader in 1951 at the Signy Island base. The point marks the western limit of Cheal's survey triangulation made in July–September 1950.
