Cape Canwe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cape Canwe (74°43′S, 163°41′E) is a high rock bluff 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Vegetation Island, forming the west extremity of the Northern Foothills, Victoria Land. First explored and named by the Northern Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13. The name arose from seeing this feature a long way off and wondering whether they could reach it.
