Lenton Point

Lenton Point () is the southwest extremity of a small, rocky peninsula in Clowes Bay on the south side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Roughly surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel, and resurveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named in 1954 by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Ralph A. Lenton of the FIDS, radio operator at Signy Island base in 1948, who helped with the survey and biological work; subsequently at Admiralty Bay in 1949, and then leader at Deception Island in 1951, at Port Lockroy in 1952 and at the Argentine Islands in 1954.
