Eubanks Point
Eubanks Point (73°27′S 93°38′W / 73.450°S 93.633°W) is a point with steep ice-covered slopes which is marked by a rock exposure on the northeast face, located 2 nautical miles (4 km) west-southwest of the summit of Mount Loweth in the Jones Mountains. It was mapped by the University of Minnesota – Jones Mountains Party, 1960–61, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Staff Sergeant Leroy E. Eubanks, a United States Marine Corps navigator with U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6, who participated in pioneering flights of LC-47 Dakota aircraft from Byrd Station to the Eights Coast area in November 1961.[1]
