Names that other countries have for this feature:
A mostly ice-covered cape with several rock outcrops at the extremity, forming the W side of the entrance to Vincennes Bay. The position of Cape Nutt correlates closely with the eastern end of "Knox's High Land" as charted as a coastal landfall in 1840 by the USEE under Lt. Charles Wilkes. The cape was mapped from air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump, 1946-47. Named by US-ACAN for Cdr. David C. Nutt, USNR, research assistant in geography at Dartmouth College, who served as a marine biologist on USN Operation Windmill, 1947-48.
