Cape Yelcho is the northwest extremity of Elephant Island, South Shetland Islands. It was named by the U.K. Joint Services Expedition, 1970–71, after the Chilean steam tug Yelcho. The tug was commanded by Luis Pardo, which rescued members of Ernest Shackleton's party from nearby Point Wild in August 1916.
