Labbé Point

1

Labbé Point is a point projecting 600 m into the southwest part of Discovery Bay from Parvomay Neck, Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica with an adjacent ice-free area of 11 ha. The point forms the northwest side of the entrance to Basullo Cove and the east side of the entrance to Vinett Cove (-62.495°N, -59.74861°W). The small Basso Island (-62.49414°N, -59.73389°W) is linked by a mainly submerged spit to the north side of Labbé Point. The features were charted and named by the 1947 Chilean Antarctic Expedition after members of the expedition: Lieutenant Custodio Labbé, navigation officer of the transport ship Angamos; Vinett, the boatswain of the expedition; and Juan Basso, chief storekeeper on the frigate Iquique.
