Iceberg Point

Iceberg Point

Iceberg Point (coord|64|38|S|63|6|W|) is a prominent point 8 miles (13 km) west-southwest of Ryswyck Point, on the east side of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. The point was first mapped by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897-99. The name appears on a chart based upon a 1927 survey by DI personnel on the Discovery, but may reflect an earlier naming.
