Laager Point
Laager Point is a conspicuous headland extending out from President Beaches on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica facing Astor Island. It forms the southeast entrance point for New Plymouth harbour and the northeast entrance point for Osogovo Bay. Naiad Lake is situated on the southwest side of the point and Pistiros Lake is centred 900 m east of it. The area was visited by 19th century sealers.
The feature's name (meaning ‘Camp Point’) derives from an earlier Spanish form, ‘’Punta Campamento’’, given by Chilean researchers in 1971.
The point is located at 62°38′16.1″S 61°08′55.2″W / 62.637806°S 61.148667°W which is 6.45 km south-southeast of Start Point, 3.28 km west of Chester Cone, 4.9 km northwest of Nikopol Point, 4.09 km north-northeast of Devils Point and 2.14 km east-southeast of Vund Point, Rugged Island (British mapping in 1968, detailed Spanish mapping in 1992, and Bulgarian mapping in 2005 and 2009).
