Portal Point

Portal Point (64°30′S 61°46′W / 64.500°S 61.767°W / -64.500; -61.767Coordinates: 64°30′S 61°46′W / 64.500°S 61.767°W / -64.500; -61.767) is a narrow point in the northeast part of Reclus Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land. In 1956, an Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) hut was established on the point, from which a route to the plateau was established. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 because the point is the "gateway" of the route.
