Low, ice-covered cape, marked by prominent rock outcrops at its N end, lying midway between Cape Mousse and Lacroix Nunatak and bounded on the N by numerous rocky islands. Charted by the AAE under Mawson, 1911-14, who named this feature for Emmanuel de Margerie, French geographer and geologist. Cape Margerie served as the main base site for FrAE parties under Liotard, in 1950-51, and Barre, in 1951-52, until fire destroyed the main buildings of their base, known as Port Martin, in January 1952.
