Church Point, Antarctica

Church Point (Spanish: Punta Iglesias) (63°41′S 57°55′W / 63.683°S 57.917°WCoordinates: 63°41′S 57°55′W / 63.683°S 57.917°W) is a point 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) west of Camp Hill on the south coast of Trinity Peninsula. The feature was sighted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition in 1903; surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1945 and so named because the point rises to a rock peak (355 m high), the sides of which resemble a church steeple.
