El FIDS le dio el nombre por Edward Kidson, meteorólogo neozelandés y autor de los reportajes meteorológicos de la Expedición Antártica Británica al mando del teniente Ernest Shackleton, entre los años 1907-1909 y de la AAE al mando de Mawson, en los años 1911-1914. Cabo escarpado de aproximadamente 305 metros de altura que forma el lado N de la entrada a ensenada New Bedford en la costa E de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
