Jade Point

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jade Point (63°36′S, 57°35′W) is a gently sloping rocky point forming the south limit of Eyrie Bay, Trinity Peninsula. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC). The lower slopes of the point are permanently sheathed in greenish-tinged ice, which suggested the descriptive name.
