Rowe Point
Rowe Point is a sharp, low ice-free point at the northeastern extremity of Ivanov Beach on the southeast coast of Barclay Bay in western Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Mneme Lake is just west of the point.
The feature is part of the Antarctic Specially Protected Area ASPA 126 Byers Peninsula, in one of its restricted zones.[1]
The point is named after Captain Henry Rowe, Master of the British sealing vessel Grace that operated out of the bay of New Plymouth, Livingston Island, in 1821–22.
