Gourlay Point (60°44′S 45°36′W / 60.733°S 45.600°W / -60.733; -45.600) is the southernmost of three finger-like points which form the southeast end of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It was charted in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II, who gave the name for Ronald George Gourlay, third engineer of the ship.[1]
