Mackay Point

Mackay Point (67°32′S 68°5′W) is a point on the southeast coast of Adelaide Island, Antarctica, about 2 nautical miles (4 km) to the north-northeast of Rothera Point. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1961–62, and by a Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit from HMS Endurance, 1976–77. The point was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1978 for Donald C. Mackay, a British Antarctic Survey builder at Halley Station (1972–73), Signy Island (1974–75), and Rothera Research Station (1976-78).

Mackay Point provides one of the few landing spots on the coast of Adelaide Island.
