Opornyy Point

Opornyy Point (69°48′S 13°0′E) is an ice point along the west side of Lazarev Ice Shelf, about 15 nautical miles (28 km) north of Leningradskiy Island, in Queen Maud Land. Mapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1959 and named Mys Opornyy (support point) because the ice shelf at this point rests on the ocean floor.
