Narrative

An ice-covered cape on Clarie Coast, 11 mi W of Cape Cesney. Discovered from the Aurora by the AAE (1911-14) under Douglas Mawson, and roughly charted at a distance of about 10 mi as lying in 6605S, 13300E. Named by Mawson for Sir John Scott Keltie, Sec. of the Royal Geographical Society, 1892-1915. The identification of this feature is based upon the G.D. Blodgett map of 1955, compiled from aerial photos taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47).
