A cape at the northern end of Mawson Peninsula in George V Land. An appearance of land was reported in about 67degrees 00' 153 degrees 30' on 19 January, 1840 by Captain Hudson in the USS Peacock of the United States Exploring Expedition (1938-42) under Wilkes, who first applied the name Cape Hudson. Analysis of photographs taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47) and ANARE revealed a feature resembling Wilkes' Cape Hudson and the name was retained.
