Spark Point, also Canto Point, is a rocky point forming the northwest side of the entrance to both Discovery Bay and Galápagos Cove, and the east side of the entrance to Jambelí Cove in the northeast of Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The point ends up in a conspicuous monolithic formation and has an adjacent ice-free area of 164ha.[1] The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.
The feature is named after the American sealing schooner Spark which operated out of the nearby Clothier Harbour in 1820–21.
