Gentile Point

Gentile Point (81°7′S 160°48′E﻿ / ﻿81.117°S 160.800°E﻿ / -81.117; 160.800) is a rounded, ice-covered point 7 nautical miles (13 km) north of Cape Parr, extending seaward from the Darley Hills on the west side of the Ross Ice Shelf. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Peter A.
