Additional information:

Portal Point lies at the entrance to Charlotte Bay on the Reclus Peninsula, on the West Coast of Graham Land. It was named by the British after they built a refuge hut at this site in 1956, enabling them to use a nearby snow slope as a gateway up unto the Peninsula Plateau. The hut was occupied between 1956 and 1958. Research conducted from this field hut focused on surveying the region and geology. The building was dismantled in 1997 and taken to the Falkland Islands where it is now exhibit in the museum at Stanley. Portal Point is also quite scenic due to the surrounding mountains, crevassed glaciers and glacier tongues that extend down to sea level.
