Narrative

A rock cape that forms the W extremity of Coulman Island in NW Ross Sea. Named in 1998 by US-ACAN after USCGC Polar Sea, an icebreaker in support of USARP activities in the Ross, Amundsen, and Bellingshausen Seas, and other Antarctic coastal areas during 11 seasons, 1980 - 1997. The cape lies in proximity to Cape Polar Star (q.v.) and Glacier Strait (q.v.), two features named earlier for American icebreakers.
