Canty Point

Canty Point (64°45′S 63°32′W) is a point forming the west side of the entrance to Börgen Bay on the southeast coast of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. It was roughly charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897–99, and surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for John Canty of FIDS, radio operator/mechanic at the Arthur Harbour station in 1955 and a member of the sledging party which visited the point.
