Names that other countries have for this feature:
Fue descubierto y bautizado en 1893 por una Expedición Antártica Noruega al mando de CA. Larsen. En ese tiempo Larsen pensó que el cabo era una parte del continente. Se le dio el nombre por Frannesodden, un cabo en el fiordo Langefjord en Noruega. El cabo fue levantado por el FIDS en 1953. Corresponde a un promontorio escarpado que se forma en el extremo NE de la península Jason, costa E de Tierra de O'Higgins, al NW del mar de Weddell.
