Duthiers Point

Duthiers Point is a headland on the Danco Coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory. It forms the north-east entrance point of Aguirre Passage, opposite Anvers Island.

The point was charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition in February 1898 and named 'Cap La Caze Duthiers' or 'Cap Lacaze-Duthiers' after Felix-Joseph-Henri de Lacaze-Duthiers (1821-1902), the French zoologist. It was named Duthiers Head, following survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Norsel in April 1955, and Duthiers Point, following air photography by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956-57.
