Landauer Point (67°4′S 67°48′W) is a point on the east coast of Adelaide Island, marking the west side of the north entrance to Tickle Channel in Graham Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, and the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition, 1956–57. The point was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Joseph K. Landauer, an American physicist who has studied the mechanical properties of ice and glacier flow.
