Names that other countries have for this feature:
A low, ice-covered cape which marks the E side of the entrance to Porpoise Bay and forms the division between Banzare and Clarie Coasts, Wilkes Land. Delineated from air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47). Named by US-ACAN for William H. Morse, purser's steward on the brig Porpoise of the USEE (1838-42) under Wilkes. Due to an inadvertent error, this placename was incorrectly spelled "Cape Mose" for a number of years.
