Jurva Point (65°50′S 65°49′W / 65.833°S 65.817°W / -65.833; -65.817) is the extremity of a small peninsula forming the southeast end of Renaud Island, in the Biscoe Islands, Antarctica. It was first accurately shown on an Argentine government chart of 1957. The point was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Risto Jurva, a Finnish oceanographer and pioneer in sea ice studies.[1]
