Point forming the W extremity of Greenwich Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name Duffs Straits was applied to McFarlane Strait by James Weddell in 1820-23, after Capt. Norwich Duff under whom Weddell served in HMS Espoir in 1814. The name Duff Point was given by the UK-APC in 1961 in order to preserve Weddell's name in the area; this point forms the NE entrance to McFarlane Strait.
