Rothera Point is a point at the east side of the entrance to Ryder Bay, on the south-east coast of Adelaide Island, Antarctica. It was charted by the French Antarctic Expedition (1908-1910) under Charcot. It was later named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for John M. Rothera (1934-)^[1], Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) surveyor at the Horseshoe Island station in 1957 and at Detaille Island in 1958.^[2]

Antarctic Specially Protected Area

The point is protected as Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No.129 so that it would serve as a biological research site and control area against which the environmental impact of the adjacent Rothera Research Station could be monitored in an Antarctic fellfield ecosystem.^[3]
