Names that other countries have for this feature:
The N cape of Mawson Peninsula, George V Coast. Land was sighted in this area, Jan. 19, 1840, by Lt. William L. Hudson in the USS Peacock of the USEE (1838-42) under Wilkes, who applied the name Cape Hudson. An analysis by B.P. Lambert and P.G. Law of the USEE chart, and of the photographs taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47) and ANARE (1959), suggests that the N cape of Mawson Peninsula is Wilkes' Cape Hudson.
