Mooring Point

Mooring Point (60°43′S 45°37′W / 60.717°S 45.617°W / -60.717; -45.617Coordinates: 60°43′S 45°37′W / 60.717°S 45.617°W / -60.717; -45.617) is a point along the south side of Borge Bay between Drying Point and Knife Point, on the east side of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. The name appears on a chart based on a 1927 survey of Borge Bay by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery, but may reflect an earlier naming by whalers.[1]
