Renier Point
Renier Point () is a narrow point forming the east extremity of both Burgas Peninsula and Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

The name ‘Pin Point’, given by Discovery Investigations personnel on the "Discovery II" in 1935, has been rejected in favor of the original name.
