Pegmatite Point (85°1′S 165°20′W / 85.017°S 165.333°W) is a distinctively banded point which juts into the head of Ross Ice Shelf from the Duncan Mountains. The point is 7 nautical miles (13 km) east-northeast of Mount Fairweather. It was first roughly plotted from ground surveys and aerial photographs by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928-30. The Southern Party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963–64, visited the point and gave the name because of the abundance of the rock Pegmatite.
