Names that other countries have for this feature:
A cape on the Enderby Land coast, 6 km north of Mt. Biscoe. First applied by John Biscoe in March, 1831, to 'A bluff point in the south-east which has every appearance of a cape'. Sir Douglas Mawson described Cape Ann as a point on the coast near where the rocky peak of Mt. Biscoe rises. Aerial photography by ANARE in 1956-58 showed that there is no marked point on the coast near Mt. Biscoe so the name has been applied to the feature to the north. Probably named after Biscoe's mother.
