Construction Point (72°19′S 170°13′E / 72.317°S 170.217°E / -72.317; 170.217) is a point marking the west side of the entrance to Willett Cove and the south end of Seabee Hook, a low recurved spit 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) west-southwest of Cape Hallett, on the coast of Victoria Land. It was surveyed in January 1956 by members of U.S. Navy Operation Deepfreeze I aboard the icebreaker USS Edisto, and so named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names because of its close association with Seabee Hook.[1]
